No clue... He used to IM me a lot. His site is down and it's a private registration... I'll keep an ear out for him.

This can't be good, I hate to say it and sound like the pessimist.

Well well well. Look who backed him up in a thread he made in 2007. The one and only Dale L. Davis.

Hey!

Whoa! I go away for a holiday weekend and everyone goes crazy.

Who the hell is infinit_lineup and what is he talking about. You have the wrong person.

To space monkey,

Sorry if you haven't been able to get a response back from me. I get allot of email everyday, and try to reply to everyone, I also do mailing list emails to try to keep people updated.

Status of the braces:

We changed vendors after being left out in the wind for months with an AZ vendor. I proofed the cad drawing, did RQF and sent the water cutting job to a local shop. Last time their turnaround was withing a few days, this times its been about 4 weeks, just because I dropped the job on them out of the blue, and they were much more busy this time around, with other jobs infront of me. Talked to them last week, said they would be done just after thanks giving.

After that we go to anodize, then laser logo. If anyone is stressed and wants their braces earlier w/o anodize or laser, just let me know and I will send them out sooner.

We are backlogged a few orders on the Dial indicator gauges, because I make each one by hand.

Again, sorry to have anyone worried, I just got back home tonight, and from the logs the site had a ddos attack, then go daddy (hosting company) locked it until I got on the phone with them. Its back up, tested and fully functional.

I can always be reached by phone if the issue is urgent. 949.891.1710

As for being associated with "Dale L. Davis", I never met him in person, talked to him online a few times, and think he bought a couple parts from us, like that BOV. Other wise, I really don't know him.

Thank you for all your support,

John

Over 2000 people have gotten subframe support braces since we released them in June. The last run has been plagued with production problems, but I try to stay in touch and be accessible as much as possible.

I also just sent out a mass email to update anyone who may have been out of the loop.

i purchased, roughly 2k worth of stuff as well as did toad from the RB section, and he stood by us. So around 4k, he always kept in contact with us, and even with me and toad being in iraq he contacted us to see how we were doing, so i will vouch for him in the positive, i hope you guys can resolve this and its a mis understanding

John,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I reacted due to the people in your sales thread missing parts and having no contact. Better to try and find scammers quickly than never. I thought maybe you kept the Admins informed of a longer than normal leave of absence, so i was just wondering what was up. I will be waiting for your new batch to be made a ready. I will post particular in the sales thread. Again, My Apologies.

Who are you? What is your full name? Email? With no information identifying you, I can not view who you are, or what you ordered. If you are just posting nonesense I can not do anything to resolve your situation. I tried looking up orders in "staten island" and found none. So you help me.

John

It seems like the only way I get any contact with you is through these forums....I live in ny work in nj. I cancelled my order back in december! I already bought the official kent moore valve shim tool, since yours never showed up. Sent you like 20 emails, TRIED CALLING 100 TIMES, to cancel and give me a refund. Then I get that fake tracking number, still no vsht or refund to this day. JUST REFUND MY MONEY AND STOP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND!!! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR YOUR TOOL. PLEASE ANSWER YOUR PHONE AND RESPOND TO MY EMAILS
