You guys are great, thanks.

I am eagerly waiting for hoses, they are overdue, but I don't want to push the mfg, sometimes that makes it take longer.

"These things jus' take a lil' time." (in a deep southern drawl)

The hose shop apologized today, "having trouble getting hose" they must go through a lot of it, just my little order is up at 130 feet of hose, I wonder what the 600 hose assemblys before me went through, B&M uses -8, so that shouldnt affect my -10 order, he said next week he can get something going.

Add me to the list

Did transmission service filter and fluid change last week. Would be nice to check fill level without having to go under the truck.
This was very helpful fill check

Fitz,

I know you are early in your business process, but once you get through your first batch it will be time to start thinking about in house production vs a fabrication shop. Personally I'd stay in house.

Next is to create multiple jigs to double or triple production while minimizing production time per unit.

Once you have a smooth running Ranger Production Process its time to build the jigs for the F150 and other autos that short customers of dipsticks... Select candidate products by volume of autos produced, ease of fabrication, and the percentage of gear heads that drive those vehicles.

My father was an EE and physicist. Worked at GE, NASA, and a few other interesting stops before starting a Electronics Fabrication shop in his basement. He did very well for himself.

I didn't meet him until I was 38 when I discovered (quite by accident) that I was adopted (found him in 2 days with just name and a location from 1955). By then he was a many times over millionaire. He came from very humble beginnings growing up in an orphanage. He offered to set me up in a business of my choice. I declined his offer. Told him I was a chip off the old block and had been working since I was 10, and on my own since 17, and was fine, but thanked him for the offer.

The short of all this is that the fun is in the journey. You can grow your business as big as you like. It's not where you come from, but where you want to go.

Run Fitzmotor Run! And have fun doing it!

The first batch may go quickly, so upon feedback, if all is well, I will make a much bigger batch, then it will be ebay or on a website.

And yes, first Bronco, (they love accessories) then F150 and so on, then 2-4-6-8-10 jigs.

They would be difficult to make on a mass scale, even if I wanted to have China make the whole thing and drop ship like the rest of the world does, the forming process is so time consuming, because if it doesn't ....................edit .......................shaped for life.

But anyways, I'm sure they could be mfg fast and cheap, I won't go that route, the people who steal the idea will.

But anyways, I'm sure they could be mfg fast and cheap, I won't go that route, the people who steal the idea will.

You are developing a recipe for success. Keep very concise notes documenting your process, and keep that document offline and in a vault. When the time comes (and it will), that business formula will increase the sales price of your business venture many many fold.

Think Coke Formula.

One more thing! DO NOT put anything in the cloud, and DO NOT use any Windows version newer than Win7 (same for MS Office) as Microsoft pulls everything off your system, and they have rights to it. (read the fine print in that agreement that everybody clicks on without reading).

Document on an older laptop that has Win 7 disconnected from the internet, or use an Operating System like Linux Mint with LibreOffice on a more current machine (Mint runs extremely well on old laptops too). It is free, Opensource, and MS Office compatible without the onerous license agreement or spyware installed.
