I'm not familiar with this business, so I looked them up and read their side of the story - I'd be curious to hear the other side(s) after suffering through that rambling mess of a FB post.

Is this the chassis parts and stuff company?
If so I bought a lot of stuff from them also. (many years ago)


Didn't go to fb though to see what it was about.

Pretty sure they are/were in PA. And did good chassis's. Wonder if they were ever affiliated with Lucky's Race Cars?

Sounds like they didn't take care of their employees so they left leaving the company unable to function. That's what happens when you crap on employees

I believe this correct. I've bought a few things from them, they are pretty close to me. The FB post was a bit longer than what Paul posted. They made excuses as to why they are done. mainly employees.
