RUCC woes (long post)

[shnookie]

To be fair, Roger delivered my kit also. However,since I went to pick up my kit, trailer and all, only to find out the kit was'nt done when I got there, I feel it was only right he brought the kit to me. It seems like Roger has a habit of being late. Noit good, but typical in this industry. However, sitting with an unassembleable kit for almost two years is UNACCEPTABLE. Yes, the frame is great. Yes, the body is good.
and yes, Roger is constantly trying to improve things. This can also be said about quite a few other manufacturers. Most of them do not seem to have 2 year backorders. I did not pay for my motor mounts or headers either. However, the kit is unfinishable without them. I'm not so sure this is'nt either a legal maneuver or a way to take the pressure off him for supplying parts in a timely fashion though. I am now in the process of working with Shell valley on mounts. (the metal parts) The rubber mounts everyone else uses (Superformance, Shell , Midstates, etc) are available. I ordered and received them from Checker and received them in two days. To give him credit, Roger called me to tell me he was having A-arm twist on the IRS and he was working on designing new arms. How long?
who knows. If he is not building kits right now (As he has stated to me numerous times.) how long does it take to engineer motor mounts and headers? Unfortunately, I know of at least three other people waiting on parts for a long time. We'll see how long it takes me to fab the mounts. I think I can do it in less than two years though.
Would I buy another? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Just my two cents.
