Hi Everyone, Kube, Mac gave a status update two weeks ago if that qualifies as recent enough. Here's the thread... https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=284491

Ever since things were shut down back in late March, most car collectors have been busy in their garages working on their old Fords. This generally means they’ve had to order parts for the projects.

The result has been a tidal wave of business activity for the vendors, which we have experienced here as well. There continues to be a steady flow of telephone calls, emails, and orders from everyone. It has been difficult to stay ahead of the work. Sometimes phone messages don’t get returned and emails go unanswered. It’s a priority to fill your orders and get product on the way. This also means staying on top of the inventory and ordering sufficient stock to keep on hand.

So, speaking for ourselves, but also on behalf of all the other vendors who sell to this market, we thank you for your business, and we appreciate your patience with our difficulties trying to keep you supplied with parts.

As a side note, the shipping organizations (ie UPS and the USPS) have had their share of problems too. UPS has been pretty good but the post office is struggling to get things done promptly......surprise, surprise.
