Ron is our supplier as well. We also have money invested in the project to keep it afloat. I have known Ron for many years and he has nothing but the best intentions and will see this thing through.

I can sympathize with Ron as our intake project has been going on as long if not longer than his header project. It truly amazes me in this day and age how difficult it can be to get something done. Our intake has had passion, drive and $$ the whole way and still hit every bump in the road imaginable. We went through 2 pattern makers, 2 casting houses, and now that we have the castings in hand we are on our 2nd machining company. Some of these people seem motivated by nothing. And don't think this is isolated. Why do you think KRE machines their block in-house, All Pontiac is now machining their head in-house? (formerly with a little company named Rousch). Ron also had similar problems and moved his operation in-house. It takes serious $ to do this.

I don’t blame anyone for being upset that they don’t have product with money down. I would be too. I don’t have a good answer for either side. Just trying to shed a little light on the process. Keep your head up Ron, otherwise everyone loses.
