Just be careful if you talk to him. He gives good advice, and it's a little too much for some people to handle

You'll learn WAY more talking to him on the phone than by PM. Yes, he's busy, but well worth the wait.

I could sit and talk to him for hours. The amount of knowledge he has is amazing. It's like talking to Dana at ProBuilt Transmissions.

It's great when you find someone that really knows what they are doing and loves it.

Why would I? I only bother making parts when I think I can do a better job.... I have no complaints about UMI's products, and we have an excellent working relationship. It's beneficial to both of us and there is no upside for me other than greed (someone might by them because they are "mine"), but that's not my bag.
