I’m hearing Sutton has sent around an email saying he’s back in business.....
Funny, I must not be on the mailing list. I haven’t seen a copy of it - but will.... and I’m sure it’s nothing more than marketing.
Let’s see how many people ignore what we’ve been saying and choose to use the dickhead.

Craig,
If your spindles are like mine, make sure you do the update to your spindles.
It's not labor intensive, but definitely worth doing.
I posted before and after of mine just for reference.

I thought of Craig’s thread and your post Greg when I saw this today.

Same “MODS” I made when I went back out to Cali — anything and everything with that BOZO’s name or logo went straight to where it belonged all along....
THE TRASH CAN

I was able to get a copy of the email Ron sent out, and thought I would share it...with the appropriate translation.
I'm excited to announce I'm going to continue my business on a smaller scale, offering tech services & a full line of chassis, suspension & brakes.
Because the "larger" scale business is in bankruptcy
It will be just me. So I will be working with a smaller group of clients I chose to work with. Those of you that have worked with me for a few years, know I can be slow to respond as I get buried with projects. I'm going to take on less projects & work on improving my response time, but it still can take a week or so sometimes. Please be patient with me. If you need quicker responses, I'm probably not a good fit.
People just beating down the door to work with you, I bet. So if your lucky enough to be "chosen" by Ron, you'll be rewarded with one week response times when your issue comes up with his stuff. Wow, sounds great, sign me up
I'm not "open for business" yet. I still have to move & set up my inventory, as well as re-setup credit card processing. It will probably be the 2nd week of December before I'm "up & running".
Take this as he hasn't finished with the bankruptcy on the previous business. He got paid for parts he was drop shipping, but is not paying the vendors for the products he sold, instead filing bankruptcy. Needs to set up credit card processing in the new business name and start this all over again...
7 Key things coming:
1. I will be running "Holiday specials" in December & January. I'll email you once I'm "open for business" with what they are.
Will be from vendors he actually paid
2. No Workshop tour, trade shows or track displays. I hated being away from my family 12 times a year, so I'm eliminating those.
His sponsors paid him to maintain his sticky forums and to do the workshop. No more sponsors, means no more workshop, trade shows, track displays. Yeah, this was his decision...
3. I am launching my own blog & forum website where you can learn & ask tech questions online. I'll email you when it is "live."
He was removed as a forum sponsor by LateralG and Pro-Touring. Because he can no longer sell on these sites or get paid to maintain his forum stickies, he will just make his own. What a guy, just giving back...
4. Mid-January, I will update my online catalog to show we no longer sell engines or turn key cars. But we will continue to sell rolling chassis, build-your-own Track-Warriors, Clips, etc. Otherwise, my entire product line will be available.
This means because he didn't pay SDPC Raceshop for previous engines, had engines built for customers without the parts that were spec'd and paid for, no one will build or sell him engines. As to the no longer selling turn key cars, well, kinda built only one and it was a disaster.
5. I am adding a new line of suspension packages I call AutoX-Star, as well as a lower cost weld-on Track-Warrior front clip package.
This means his Howe copy stuff will only be twice as expensive than from other vendors, instead of three times more.
6. Also in the updated catalog will be a lot of new trick parts for building up your muscle car with factory frames & clips.
Brought to you by the same fab shop that built Greg Welds Dirt Missile...
7. I will be adding a ton of "Tech-Helpers" & better instructions to help with your build.
But do "tech-helpers" and instructions help when you screwed up the design originally. No amount of instructions or tech helpers would have helped with the mistakes you made on my parts
I hope you & your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Best wishes !!!
Ron Sutton
