Website Update - Acutally it's brand new!

[vintagebrett]

My old host decided that it will no longer function come November so I decided to start from scratch. I'm still working out the kinks and adding items but feel free to check it out (and buy something) and let me know what you think - I appreciate the feedback. Like the name?

Nice start. I like the water marks on the upper left hand corner.

I wish you well on the new site.

Great start!

From a purely display standpoint, your site is rather wide. I have a horizontal scroll on my netbook (1024x600 resolution), but anyone using a 1024x768 resolution (about 40% of Internet users as of Jan. '09) will have the same scrollbar.

Perhaps shrink the site to 960 or 950 pixels wide? This would eliminated the horizontal scroll. I don't know what CMS you're using, but many CSS frameworks use those widths (Blueprint and 960gs come to mind).

Great looking website, Brett! Your graphics look super and I love the name you picked (seems oddly familiar...) I know I will be a frequent visitor!

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. I can definitely change the size to get rid of the horizontal scroll - my mac doesn't have that issue so that is why I wanted to get feedback from other users. Still have a bunch of stuff to upload so keep checking back.

Ok, got most of the stuff uploaded with descriptions now - some more stuff added the last couple days including gloves, balls, etc. Free shipping, as always, for forum members. Make me an offer on mutliple items if you want - maybe I'll give you a good deal - just got back from the car shop and my Hyrbid needs a new backup catalytic converter.

Another round of updates today including some of my finds this week and 1 or 2 from my collection.

Updated the site with some new items plus some new features - I created a page for recent updates so you can see what has been added lately. There is also an RSS feed now so you can get live updates when the content is updated.
