Does anyone know if The Rustbox is still in business? For a couple of weeks I have called and left messages and for the last week it states their is no longer in service. Jason are you still still around?

He is not on vacation. He is welding on a rusty bus. I ran into Jason 3-4 times last week while I was on vacation. He has been working 10 -12 hours a day 7 days a week on a customers bus. Be patient he will get to you. After watching him work on a bus we would normally leave for dead here in California, I think another rare bus has been saved.

1. I could understand that he has been working on a customer’s bus and that he does he does great work. 2. I also know that they were also moving location. 3. I also understand the fact that you say to be patient. The fact is I order a beam from them/him (the Rust box) and was told it would be a 5 week turn around due to materials that were ordered and also finishing up projects for the Classic that was a month away. I think I have been very patient considering that I placed this order in the beginning of May and the last I heard was that they were going to weld the shock bosses on the beam and send pictures to my email so we could discuss payment, this was in early July. Here it is almost a month to the day and 3 months since I originally order the beam and haven't seen or heard anything from them. I am still considering waiting for the product, but when I call I hear a message that the phone number is no longer in service. Come on now, I think I should be a little concern about my order at this point. All I really would like to know is if Jason is still in business, and if so should I expect my beam anytime soon. If not, just let me know so I could start looking else where. I you are to see him again have him PM me.

I just got back early this week...

"Out of the country on Vaca"...now THAT would be a first."
Slight misunderstanding...no worries.

Thanks for the good words Ed! Good to see you man.
That bus was a job and a half!

We have 2 beams pending for Florida..."2074MANX"...i'm sure yours is one of those.
Either way, give us a ring and we'll take care of you!!! :D

No worries Jason. I just got a little worried when I called and received that message the phone was disconnected. I just wanted to get the low down before I started looking elsewhere for the beam. It is not like I can drive to the shop and see what is going on for my self, since I live on the East Coast. I will call within the week to see what the status is. Thanks Eddie
