Nice!! You guys are up and running with the ATS line. Gonna make abunch of people happy.

I didnt get the "industry shortage in raw materials." for the steering arms though. What do you mean? A shortage of metal to do the forgings? Or a shortage of suppliers making the arms. A lil confusing for me. Cause I would think if you had the materials for the spindles the arms would just be another supply, just more.

Is there really a shortage of raw metal? Almost sounds like WII days. I had NO idea raw materials were in a shortage now. If so its an eye opener for me. I had no clue there was a raw material shortage.

What type of steel are you guys needing? I have a brother in law in West Virgina and they are still foundering large amounts of alloy steel from what he has told me. And they are on overtime, three shifts a day and working long days. He sure as heck doesnt know who the purchasers are. I just assumed it was on the open market. And its bulk steel. Not in any usable shape. Just rail cars full of quality steel that gets shipped out.

I had no idea there was a shortage of raw steel. Interesting cause some one is buying it up. 24/7. JR
