Whatever Happened to AJGeneral.com

 What happened to AJGeneral.com

There are a lot of people that wondered whatever happened to AJGeneral.com. The site was my baby. I built it to sell restoration and performance parts. I decided to create a site that gave it's customers a better experience based on knowledge gained from first hand experience dealing with high performance and the restoration of classic muscle cars that came out of the 60's and 70's. I personally handled every email,phone call and request. I wrote articles for the site and even found technical information such as casting numbers for old school engines. I worked on AJGeneral in all of my spare time. Eventually I made a full time living from the website. I researched hard to find parts for people and was straight up about issues that other companies would B.S. about. If a part wasn't available I would say so,I wouldn't take a customers money and hope for the beast feeding them a line if they didn't get their order in time. I would spend countless hours chasing down parts for people across North America so that they could make their hot rodding or restoration dream come to life. I noticed something else along the way,soon all the other premier websites and companies like mine were following what I was doing, I have to say that sure made me smile!

One Fateful Day.

One fateful day I got a notice from my websites hosting company. My hosting fee payment was made out to Bright Builders and not eSilverBullet, the company that bought my hosting company. Before I knew it,I no longer had access to my website or any of my admin. I was locked out. By the time I found out my domain name had already been sold. The person that bought the domain name wanted a huge amount of money for it. I was very clear that the domain was useless to him as I owned the copyrights to AJGeneral. 

Moving Forward.

I was able to rescue all the tech info I had posted on AJGeneral thanks to a very good friend of mine and have it all posted on this blog. I have just started rebuilding a store on the site for those of you that are interested in parts for your project and I am in the process of posting more information based on experience from myself and others that submit it to me. The new store can be seen just to the right side of the blog articles and I will continue to bring the most up to date information I have on both the small block and big block Chevrolet. I will also be bringing myself and the site up to snuff on articles about the LS Chevy's as well. So while I'm in the process of doing so,I thank all of you that were loyal to AJGeneral and hope you can bare with me as I continue on with JWT Automotive.
