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.

In all honesty, I am confident that Ron will end up sending me headers and that they will be awesome. I also can understand what he must be going through to get this project to where it is now.

I really appreciate johnsma22 posting those pics, at least that is proof that there is headers being made and that Ron actually has a bender and is making progress.

It would be great if progress reports and pictures were posted periodically instead of just nothing by Ron. I can honestly say that I would not have paid the money if I would have known Ron was going to start a header company and it would take 2 years to get the headers. I just don't have the money to invest in companies. I just wanted a set of headers for my car. But if he would have been honest, then I guess he wouldn't have gotten money out of everyone like he did. So in the end I guess it will be good for everyone.

GB,
I KNOW you'll get your headers. Correct me if I am wrong, but you got in on ther second run, right? The reason I ask this is because Ron pretty much sold out the first run in no time. I know, as I got mine during the first run.
I don't think he was trying to start a company up, I think that he promised people something and then got screwed trying to deliver on it.
I read Ron's response on what happened to him while trying to deliver the goods. I knew of some of the hardships dealing w/ Brand D header company. Ron told me about it when I bought my headers from him. After hearing about all the crap, I honestly thought I got the last pair available, then he did another run. I really think that he is genuine in trying to get your stuff to you.
Yeah, his communication skills suck, but mine do too. I ain't saying jack on that, but I really do think he will get them to you soon. Look in the back ground- all those parts are going somewhere.
