I haven't bought headers so I don't have a dog in this fight. I've known of Ron locally as a fellow Pontiac'er for a few years. I visited Ron's header shop a couple of times recently and observed completed headers, sets of headers in the process of being made, fabrication equipment and welders, and the components to make them such as tubing, flanges, etc. I can tell you that the fabrication process is far more complex than I had imagined yet he is able to pretty much single handedly crank out headers.
He obviously isn't getting rich off this endeavor, in fact by committing to fill all previous orders he absolutely must make new header sales in order just to fund shipping. I know not everyone supports the "sponsor" header purchase arrangement but if everyone who paid for headers ultimately gets their product I think that is what matters in the long run. I applaud Ron for committing to supply headers to all who have paid rather than taking the easy way out.
I just wanted forum members and potential customers to know his shop is indeed real, headers are being produced NOW, and they are far more impressive in person than in photos.
