My First Year With Pwr...

[slide 9]

(Update 10/18/14 Engine and heads now at BFNY, Cam and essentials on the way)

I remove my Andy rant as all parts were delivered and engine assembled. Motor should be pretty sick and a good value. (my apache heads were upgraded to Thiteks by Andy) Took to long? Yes.....Better late then never? Absolutely.

Didn't you get the revised, revised, revised, email list last month? It's coming.

[Drp6982 31]

Geez, sorry to hear it.......I hate to see the drama but I do hope very much you get squared away soon

Damn... This just sucks.

We'll get there Bill.On a side note Billy Briggs has been spectacular with communication and keeping us up to date

Everything bill has said is true. We are very sorry and I don't blame you for voicing your disatisfaction. We deserve it. It's very unfortunate but we are doing our best to get everyone caught up. We have been taking very limited engine orders so that can focus on getting caught up. Have actually turned some business away so as not to compound the issue. These sound like excuses but they are not. We screwed up and are trying to get everyone caught up asap.

Sucks, im not gonna add to the down side of this. I would be pissed to, Andy seems like a real good guy and I understand it is tough as hell keeping a business going. Dude needs to grow more hands or hire some help.

[deef1999 23]

Hang in there Andy, and customers waiting for product.

Who's "we", Do you have a parrot on your shoulder?

[bklynmag 6]

I hope you are up and running soon Bill.

Well not actually my first year but my money has been with PWR for one year this past week and I'm still waiting for the parts to get to the shop so the engine can get built. WTF Andy? I could have thought of better things to do with that cash never mind having to think about this bullshit all year.. Yeah I could go on with this all night...

Now folks understand I do not like to have to post this sort of thing knowing it has a reverse impact on someones business and living but there's a complicating factor here too, Since Andy told me on the 16th. of July he was planning to ship the motor to BFNY on the 26th. of July I dropped my car off at Erik's just before LX&B and got a ride home from FlyByU. Erik has been stuck dealing with the car shuffling it around ever since just waiting. Yup and my wife wishes I'd stop having to use her car all the time too..

Hurray PWR 440!, It's always just a day away...

I understand the frustration, Bill. Really.

PS... When this all settles out, we will race and laugh about the wait.

PM sent, Erik. Maybe Billy can help out my scheduling with BFNY. ??

Who's "we", Do you have a parrot on your shoulder? Who did you divvy my money up with?

I'm glad you've still got your sense of humour.

Shitty situation but great response Andy. Standing up and taking responsibility.

I hope you're on the road soon Bill. Waiting and being let down is a bitch.

[Renfrick1 83]

I like Andy

[RonP 10]

Good luck Bill.

I guess as long as I keep seeing you and the others ahead of me post stuff like this, the more reality sets in that god knows when mine will be done.

Good on you for responding Andy and I am sure it wears on you but it's wearing on those who are waiting as well for numerous reasons.

[rtr0id 73]

Good luck and hang in there Bill. My car has been gone about 6 months now so I can empathize. This couch racing shit tends to make people grumpy

Thanks for the support guys, I got a call from Billy Briggs today and he said he talked to Andy and was told by him the connecting rods were going to get sent out to Billy's shop today. As it stands Andy has told me previously my crank, pistons, rings, ARP main studs and machined block are there and my Thitek heads are at Craig's. If the rods get there he can actually start to build the engine, I sure hope so.

thats good news for sure bud! waiting sucks for sure......but it sounds like the ball is starting to roll

[El Diablo 72]

Wow waiting a year on a motor ? I can understand your frustration for sure. Hopefully Andy get it taken care of soon .

[BJB 40]

A Jeep guy went to Motor City Speed (Billy Briggs) for a forged bottom end (Pistons / Rod's) I think he waited 4-6 weeks due to the custom pistons being ordered. Once the parts were in they pulled the motor and did the work in less then 3 days. Once he has the parts he can turn the work quickly.

I was at their shop last week dropping off some parts for a racing buddy. The shop is a mile away from where I store my trailer. Billy was not the guy I had visioned! lol

That is good news.

[slide 9]

Yeah Billy certainly seems to be a cool and righteous engine builder, But he can't work miracles. Andy has to give him the parts and cash to do this.

[Adanac Charger 30]

Awesome news Bill.

Mine follows yours at Billy's shop. I'll race you to Atco.

[BJB 40]

Connecting rods must have had a lot of creative input...

[budoboy 12]

That sucks Bill. I know how much you like to race, and win
