Glad to see that I’m not the only one. I’ve purchased several of his kits over the years. Actually been doing business with them for more than 20 years. Communication was never a problem When Richard was running the shop, you could always expect a reply or answer within a day or so.

I once asked Richard about expanding and hiring some folks to help out. Absolutely not he said, he felt that the California labor requirements and liability protections could kill his business. He also felt he would need to raise prices by 50% or more to cover these requirements.

Granted, this was a number of years ago but I’m sure they are still facing the same problem.
