I have been following Ron's posts the beginning. They have been the main reason for me visiting this forum. When his first posts hit, I had just bought a full chassis from an aftermarket company (Street Rod Garage) as the basis for a serious autocross/track day car. It had beautiful welds, but was ready far later than promised, and was missing some expensive parts. Ron's posts educated me on how to measure a chassis, and what to look for that will affect performance. After doing this, I knew what I had was bogus. I got out the plasma cutter and started over with all of the suspension mounts. Then the cross members, then the frame rails. Pretty soon I had nothing left. I started fabbing some things myself, but realized that I was in over my head, and that only working most Saturdays was going to take far too long to complete the car.
I decided to give Ron a call, and we had a long talk. By this time he was selling suspension parts. I ended up buying a front clip for my chassis, and later most of a rear clip. I found a local fab shop that seemed to be a good fit (they had done King of The Hammers builds, cool!). A year or so and a lot of money later, I had to get the car back to my place due to the slow pace. The shop ended up prioritizing the quickie projects and odd jobs, to the determent of the full builds that he had on hand collecting dust. I ended up doing more work myself waiting for a good shop in Texas to get an opening, which was therapeutic, all things considered. I had been buying misc. parts (including Forgeline wheels) through Ron all along, mainly due to the expert advice he provided during the ordering process.
Were all of the things he did for me perfect? No. As I discovered an issue here or there, Ron took care of them. I noticed that responses got a little slower, but I understood his business was going through some growing pains (I knew this because he told me so). I never felt like Ron was trying to put something over on me, or that he was being dishonest in anyway. In my business, we sometimes have issues being as responsive as I would like, so I understand that "things don't always go as planned". As I am a Buick guy, I am used to waiting on parts and services for my cars. There are only about 3 good Buick engines builders in the country, and only one Buick speed parts vendor. I have waited 6 months for a set of cast aluminum valve covers, and years for engines to be built. These involve specialized, low volume, and sometimes one off parts. Just like the highly custom track toys that many of us on this site are building. Patience is a virtue in these instances.
There are many good vendors (and people) on this site, and I have met and patronized some of them (Kore3, Ridetech, Detroit Speed, Holley come to mind). What sets Ron apart is his willingness to share and educate with intricate details about suspension theories, workings, and experiences from a racing environment. Watch a race on TV and see how much real tech you can glean from the commentators. I have also attended and enjoyed Ron's seminars, and will do so again.
I hope anyone that feels they have not been treated fairly by Ron will give him a chance to take care of their issues. I believe he will.
