Thanks, and Amen to that.



For those watching....I know it makes some skeptical when someone with less than ten posts comes into a controversial thread like this one, whether in support of, or antagonistic to the topic at hand. Such is the case with SA74SD above as he is newly registered here. I just want to caution everyone that its very easy to make an assumption that this isnt a real person. There are MANY who dont post and just watch the boards. I'm getting approached by them all the time now regarding these headers.

But I want to assure everyone that if you question the validity of any of these header deliveries and are looking to purchase a set.........I have no problem asking these individuals to contact you (I can at least ask). They are real, and the headers being delivered are real. I would be an idiot to place my neck on the line for a scam. I'm no idiot.

Unfortunately many who have received headers have been quiet. For the sake of fairness I cant mention the names of those who have received theirs, but I encourage everyone who does to post here.

For everyone that has posted in support of Ron...thank you. He is struggling, and I have personally seen him pour the last resources of his own into this endeavor. Quite a bit of cash actually. It sickens me to see thousands of $ disappear into tubing, and tooling, and boxes, and rent........all with zero return for him as yet besides eeking out an existence. And I mean eeking it out. And the progress has been frustrating to me. I was hoping like everyone else including Ron that he'd be caught up by now.

But he is trying......every day I speak with him he's out there in the shop. He's one man. Did you guys know that it takes him much longer to grind the new welds on the inside of each port opening of a D-port set than it does for an O-port? He cant use the same tool. I didnt know that months ago. D-ports are much harder in another way too. The tubing needs to make an immediate turn when it leaves the flange on those center ports. The tooling that helps make the d-port shape wont work in a bend....only on a straight. So its a dilemna, and he has struggled with making those tubes.......each and every time.....one tube at a time.






And you guys waiting for these things. I can only imagine really what it would be like to shell out your cash and then not get what you paid for. For months, or a year, or 6 years. I dont blame any one of you for being angry, or fed up. I'm glad I've been able to help a little. I'm no hero here, just another guy with an idea crazy enough to volunteer. Never could pass someone broken down along the side of the road without stopping..........I'm seeing some light at the end of the tunnel, but I know a lot of you are still waiting..........
