Fritz Cat just received his set as you can see. Nice seeing you again Fritz & nice 64'.

It was ONLY possible because of two things.

# 1 I have over the last 2-3 months spent every cent of bill money on tools that I have designed & had a local machine shop make for me. Which by the way I still owe them money & they still have a tool. Luckily its for a different header that is yet to come out.

# 2 I relocated to a lower cost & much larger location around three high ways & near large populations. So I have help now for the first time ever. Instead of being located in the boony's with nothing but flake that wont work without beer, cigs or some other drug.

# 3 MOST IMPORTANT Someone had just purchased a set.

I made sure to email pics a the build progress each day (total build time 3 days) & the same with Fritzt Cat (2 day build time). Only Fritzt actually got his pics over a week after his were built. While they were sitting in the jig waiting for a welder that wouldn't flake on me. I was going to just show up at his door without any notice, but after looking at them every day I called him & told him. Then I emailed him pics & told him he could come by & see them if he wanted to.

After the 4th welder no show I had one show up & both sets were then welded. Then I hand delivered them to Fritz because he as only 20 min from me & didn't require a box.

I have a set at the shop that the drivers side is done ( not welded ) & the pass side will be done late tomorrow or early Tue. My welder comes in on Fridays all day & one night a week at times. So by Fri it will be welded & ready for shipping.

From Fritz's posts here, I have another set sold. This set will pay for the shipping, packaging, operating costs & materials to send both sets out. This set will be done & welded on Fri. Then both sets will be shipped out by Mon morning as long as the check is there by then.

So I don't view this new sale as a new customer but as a sponsor helping to get an owed set out. This is the way it will work from this point on until I get all orders filled.

I will be going through my records & through threads on all the boards tonight to find out who this set I am working on will belong to. I will email him to let him know & send pics of the build. I will also give the name (or just screen name) of the "Sponsor" that made it possible.

Each sale will be handled the same way. If you dont like it working this way well ................. I'll deal only with the ones that are ok with it & the others last. I have said what seems like 100 different ways to def ears on these boards that working capital makes thing move. Fritz Cats set proved it. Lets get this order done so I can die in peace.

If you want to help out a fellow member get there set email me [email protected] your payment is due only at the time completed.
