Called AGAIN on 2-9-18 again they have parts and promise build of 2-16-18 and ship here several days after. On 2-15-18 called to verfy build date of 2-16-18. Estimated build date is NOW 2-23-18 as they are running behind on ALL wheel build orders! Why does it affect MY wheels as it was in line to build on 2-16-18 and slips another week??? First no parts, then can't meet schedule dates??? ahhh very POOR business. I understand wheels are a selective market as well as multiple options on each wheel build restricting stocking costing. BUT delays on every order??? Not a happy wheel purchaser, I only got the rear rims. Now will it take 6 months IF I order the front rims???

Lots of parts from Procomp/Speedmaster. He won't need to worry about safety, it won't even start up...

I'm going to have this post removed. ALL of our parts are MADE IN U.S.A. and this seems to be discriminatory!

FYI all of our products are 100% in stock and if they are not I'll answer the phone and let you know when to expect them

If I was building a new dragster today, the car would be mostly identical to the one I have now, built by Bill Frederick aka Elite Chassis, the engine would be built by one of two builders, neither of which advertise or post here and be a spread port 615, the trans would again come from Abruzzi, the brakes, 3rd member and driveshaft would again be from Mark Williams, the wheels would again come from Weld, the slicks of course would again come from HOOSIER and the paint would again be spilled by Todd Zellar aka Todd's Extreme Paint and it would cost me ~ 105,000 and be complete in 6 months or less.

The lying,the bogus completion times.The taking of your money and not delivering the product.The arrogance.complete lack of communication after the money has been sent...all this and the quality is barely better than a part from asia!!

To prove a point i am going to build a top dragster completely made from asian parts.There will be no parts on this car from north america.Every part will be from china,philippines,tawain,korea and indonesia.I guarentee you i will get the parts i need from these countries faster than any in the usa.These parts will look identical to anything maufactured in america.
The parts will hold up the same or almost the same as any part made in america.It will be just as fast as any top dragster made with us made parts and at half the cost!!

It's not every company that sucks, just a small percentage. You need to deal with other companies. With that said, make sure you buy a Chinese fire suit and helmet so when everything takes a shyt on the top end, they can stuff you in a hefty 30 gallon trash bag and continue with racing.

These guys wanna race your new pipe rack heads-up with their home-built Top Sportsman ride.

Can't believe another two inches of snow here tonight and it's still falling! If I wanted this stuff I would move up by you Mike!

I see why my friends keep moving south.
