From the last I heard they are locked out of the building.. nobody in.. nobody out..(well maybe people out.. ) SO until they get enough money to pay the rent.. the inside and all its belongings are locked out.
I think we should concentrate on starting from scratch.. although this is not a small undertaking someone somewhere has to have the capabilities, we just need to find them.

I spoke to PPE Engineering and they said there were in contact with S&S about buying the jig... but it has been quiet..

Hay gang.. things may be looking up...
Received this email from Paul at PPE, here is the most important snippet..

We will be purchasing their jigs when they are available. I will let you know as soon as we get them and when we can get some made.

I am hoping by summer we may be somewhere..

I will keep this thread posted with what I hear but I am sure when they get closer to the final product, PPE will make a new thread.

Please do not call PPE and ask them when they will get them as he does not know either. He gave me about a month or two to get the jigs..

Hey everyone,

We just purchased 5 sets of these headers and will have them finished and coated by April 9th. They will be $600/set including ceramic coating.

We also purchased the jigs and will probably make some design changes before we continue production on these.

If anyone is interested, you can contact me at 480-615-7900 or sales@ppeengineering.com
