Just wanted to publically thank a guy at Alcoa,
by the name of Duane, who has really helped
"The Rat" out with his ability to get me quotes
on new made extrusions for our project.
He has remained interested in our project, and has
also looked past our "timeframes" for allocating the
extrusions, which has been 9 months later in some
cases. Just that he still takes my phone calls is
an indication that he either really likes his job,
is truly interested in the B-17, or he needs all the
orders he can get, even for piddly 300lbs runs.
And that goes for the guys behind the scenes at
Alcoa, too!
It's good to hear that there are still some reputable dealers and manufacturers still out there that won't try to rake you over the coals when it comes to ordering or making parts.
