Also, Express Composites here in Minneapolis. Great guys to work with. A good number of members here, myself included, have ordered from here. Well, I didnt really order anything, I went down and picked it all up personally. :) lol

Tomas, the owner of Express knows of us very well here. He used to anyways. For a while it seemed member after member was calling and buying from them and they would always mention they heard of them from here. :up:

Glad to hear they are taking care of you.

Having a cnc mill in my garage helps. It also doubles as a puller if needed. :lol:
