I should have posted here before (a long time ago), but then there would be many posts from all the times Russ has taken care of me on some stuff. Great guy to deal with, and no BS. Quick on getting stuff out too. I can't tell you how many times he's saved my butt.

Bought some T3 fuel injector spacer blocks a while back. They were NOS as promised and worked out great.
Russ is the man. Good communication and fast shipment!
Thanks!,

Can't say enough good things about Russ. He's a tremendous resource on the forums and as a seller. Purchased a pair of brake drums from Russ on Monday and they were waiting for me when I got home today. Thanks!

I ordered a pair of front drums from Russ. He was quick in responding to questions and even faster shipping them.
I doubt that will be my last transaction with him. It's nice to know there's a supplier and fount of knowledge nearby. |

needed a new starter for the frankensquare and Russ had one for a decent price...
drove up to pick it up and spent a day with Russ, bobnotch, suesanctuary and bigvwhead in Russ' shop organizing and sorting....
came home with a few extra bits and at a great price!
thanks, Russ!

Just bought a fuel pump relay from Russ. It was exactly as described and packaged very well. Russ even sent me a photo showing the relay's he had and even recommended the correct relay to use for my application. Thanks again Russ.

Sent my spindles to Russ for king pin repair. He turned them around in 24 hours. Quality is excellent, price better than local.
Communication was excellent.

Bought a fuel pump from Russ.
Had a problem with it.
He went above and beyond typical expectations to rectify this problem.
He's a great person to deal with!
