Whoah! That is big, sad news. Things were a bit pricey, but all told, that is a good company to have in the hobby.

Yep, check the other thread.

You do not need this stuff to make an early model do its thing!

If I can every find enough time, I will get all the good stuff up at "Budget Performance"

A Mustang can perform quite well with the stock stuff...however, I will pretty much guarentee that my Mach will out handle any stock suspension Mustang on the road or track.

See the deal for me isn't about making this car perform well, it's about making it perform exceptional.

What's really weird is I read recently about the new GT350SR continuation vehicle from Shelby that is supposed to use this just like Hellenor did. I still can't understand this. How can the other companies offer a new and simillar product and keep their doors open, but TCP can't???? I've just never heard of a business going under before because the demand was too great.

It all comes down to money, and man power.

If they get behind for any reason at all (say a bad investment, or the owner spent more than he had) then the companies which supply them with things such as rod ends, or powdercoating, or any number of things, will stop supplying them.

People who work for you may not get paid and then...

Once you get behind, you have to use money from new sales to get caught up with the old sales.

This bites you in the butt eventually, and it looks like this has happened to them.

Things may change, stuff might get turned around, or someone may just buy them out. They have a market, and a quickly dwindeling fan base, but I think it could be recovered.

I just hope that somehow I get my money back.
