    I put this on CT on 2-14-15 and finally found time to paste it here too. When I have a chance I'll go into my PM's and start answering them. I apologize to anyone who got caught up in my busyness and working two jobs these past 5 months. Things will get better now that I'm in my shop full time again.

    For anyone who has been waiting extra long on a order here is the explanation why.

    After about 8 years or so in business for myself, 2014 became a difficult year for me. In September of 2014 I made an incredibly difficult decision to accept a full time job at a Ford dealership, and still keep Streetacos open thinking I could handle both jobs. This was a move I probably shouldn't have made. The Ford job took away far too much precious shop time. The extra money it brought in just wasn't worth the lost shop time and stress it placed on me. It's very stressful working a different job knowing you have a full plate of orders to build and ship and not enough time to do so.

    Recently I made the decision to quit the Ford job, kind of letting a friend down there, but he understands, and yesterday, (2-13-15) was my last day. I am now in my shop full time again and
    will be working hard here.

    Thankfully I still receive orders, and I'm grateful to these people, they are what keep things moving here and allow me to try and build a higher quality part than is offered in the main stream aftermarket. So I will be in my shop working hard.

    Thanks for reading, Brian.
