Buck your not the only one who has had to wait, I went to Tudors a few years ago, it took him over a year to do the engine, Last April he e mailed me that I had cases  there that had the inserts done and asked for payment, but the case needed some smaller repairs also, I said sure  paid him up front and still haven't received my cases. Im about to file through Pay Pal, I have not meet one builder here in so cal that kept there word on turnaround time, We quote a standard 4 weeks lead time on parts we produce, and ask if we can ship early if done sooner, 9 out of 10 orders we ship are in 2 weeks  and that what keeps our customers returning, if we are running late then we call or e mail the customer with details and with a new lead time.
Again its just simple customer service
