James' order came at a time of peak disorder for me. In 2022, the year I turned 65, I just couldn't get motivated to work the extra hours necessary to eliminate a backlog that had built up over the previous 4 years.
However, I've done a lot of product development over the past 2 years, including redesigns, and extensive fixture and tooling work. As a result, my more popular items are now easier for me to maintain inventory, and header assembly goes quicker and more smoothly.
Somehow I completed 6 full exhaust systems and several mufflers in the past 6 months, completely eliminating my backlog of exhaust work.
Going forward, I'm implementing firm production dates for the built-to-order items, at intervals I believe I can keep up with.
Its all good, and just to be clear I wasn't trying to disparage anyone, just setting expectations. Good things come to those who wait and after having seen one of your systems on my buddies car (same one you did the custom Jenvy cable linkage for) I knew it was the one to get. The time table worked out pretty well for me too, allowed for a bit of scope creep on my end.
