People note: two more sets delivered over a 24 hour period......don't know if there is more en route. The process may be slow, but its getting done. If persons can be a bit more patient and do not do anything to turn off new buyers, everyone is likely to get their hedders.

Ron........continued good wishes!

I placed another order with Ron a few days ago. This is going to be my second set. Hopefully profits will get someones set shipped out. Even with the slight increase in price these are still a great buy.

As posted both janderson & 76LQ9TA just received there headers. It was a few days later than we had told them it would be only because of two things. The bank holiday effecting access to shipping. Since its not a holiday that a lot of decorations alert you that its near, So we didn't bother looking for it.

The fact that I drive to ship only on certain days of the week to conserve gas. So the trips have to be the days I need other supplies since I'm so far from a town either way.

Thanks guys for the help that got your headers out to you.

Ron has spent a lot of time going through records, emails, PM's & letters to sort out the details on his lists. Since its been hard to get that info from the lack of access to his old QB program. He has found a few older sets of guys that haven't paid there shipping. Also a few that are close by, meaning Wa. & Ca. So there shipping is a small amount compared to most others across the US. Those sets will be shipped from the sales.

They total 8 sets & depending on there response time for the ones that need to pay the shipping. He wants to ship them all ship this week.

Just to clarify....of the 2 orders Deanna just mentioned, jesse anderson was a 5+ yr old order and 76LQ9TA was approximately 1 yr old.

RA V Girl,

I send you a PM. I hope Ron still has me on the list of owned headers. Thats my biggest worry, "Am I on the list of owned headers or has Ron forgot me"?

I will pay shipping, if a set of D ports headers are ready. Also I sent Ron ball and socket collectors.

Please contact me. thanks

I don't understand? Ok Ron doesn't want to come on here fine, but why can't his wife update when people keep asking! People are willing to pay the shipping etc , send pm's and they get nothing in return! This makes no sense at all to me.

Better watch out, can't be critical or you will become the bad guy like me. Just give your money and wait for the box in a few years. In the meantime others get theirs.

I cannot tell anyone who is next, as I dont know. But one by one they are going out. If you want to add shipping to help move things along, call me or send an email. I have put my email in here many times. Extra shipping will be added to your account to be refunded later or used as a credit on another set later. In the meantimeI know that isnt satisfactory for everyone.

Again, paying shipping twice isnt necessary, it has helped a bit here and there though. One way or another ALL orders will be sent.

This weekend I received a call from Ron. I have agreed to pay shipping again to get my set of d-ports. The coating and original shipping cost will be applied to another set of headers in the future.

Ron said he has headers built but no money to ship to people who are owned headers. If you have been waiting to purchase a set, contact Ron as he has both round port and d-port in his shop.

Headers have been going out to those who have agreed to pay shipping (again) so headers are going out. Also new orders are being filled right away according to Ron.

Hope to received my set next week sometime. I'll update next week.

So you can buy an intake and help someone get their Tri-Y's at the same time!

Intake is sold. Ron/Deanna please PM me to coordinate. I hope this helps someone get their headers faster!

Update:
Received a shipping confirmation from Ron. Looks like I should have them next week.
If you are owed headers contact him (the hard part), you will need to pay shipping again but it appears he has headers ready to go, just no money to ship them. If you have been on the fence about buying, it seems like a good time to pay as he has them ready to ship.

I'll get pics when I receive.

Okay, it took me forever to get these pics, between my puter loosing the first set I took and a lot of other factors, but here are a couple of shots of my tri Y's mocked up on my spare 455. I'm really impressed with how these things fit and how easy it is to get to all the bolts. I just need to do a bit of clean up on them, then off to the coater with them. I'll be ordering a set of O port headers for my E head engine soon also.

I have been sick for a little over two weeks now & still have a little lingering. Over the counter meds suck & never got a new doctor after the move.

Here's what has gone out during that time. I'm not sure if I missed one or not but I think not.

I believe these sets were 76LQ9TA & janderson that they already posted


O-ports sent on 2/3


D-ports on 2/6


3 D-port's on 2/9 I believe 455Grin's set is in this pic. one set had ball sockets added. One set is a guy in Sweden


3 D-port's on 2/10


O-port's 2/11 I believe is ripper1991's set


So that's 9 sets sent out over the last 8 days. A set of headers stubs went out last week too. There's a set of D & O-ports going out on this Tue. I'm sure there will be more later in the week. Since I wasn't involved in all the shipping of these sets I don't know the names on all the sets in the pic's. Ron could care less about posting pics of shipments & can care less if I post them either. He's more concerned about making sure headers get out while making sure the operating costs are paid.

Other news from the past few weeks. Ron has been training a guy & he has him help building D-ports. He also has him doing some of the trivial stuff that takes time away from building. That guy may have a job in a few weeks, so he may have to start over on the training with someone else.
