Has anyone done business w/ ‘Past Power Innovations’ based in Oregon? (Once upon a time, was a vintage parts seller/fabricator known as ‘Arcadiana Sports Car Orphanage’ in Louisiana). If so, how would you rate your business experience w/ these folks AND why...! The few reviews I’ve bumped into online—rather glowing—seem to ‘betray’ the experience I, and others I’ve spoken with, are currently having. I don’t think anyone enjoys throwing $$ away..

I know the owner... I've done business with him before, with no issues. Seems out of character for them to not be 100%.

I am the proprietor of the business in question.

To follow up on this - I will say that the parts you ordered were part of a large pre-order/group buy, and you purchased on the very tail end of the preorder. The delays you experienced were literally the time that it took for the completed parts to ship from the manufacturing plant to our shop.

Based on your extremely peculiar typing/grammar, I was able to identify who you are based on the email correspondence we exchanged, and your order and I did verify that it was received by you in Virginia on 4/10/19 - around the same time the other 70 or so customers who pre-ordered parts received theirs.

If you have further issues, please feel free to contact me directly.
