Dallas Hot Rod Parts Byc... New Upper Arms

Ok guys I know the story with BYC and Mike. I too waited waited and waited for parts, luckily I actually got my parts before things got out of hand and he closed BYC.

If you dont know the story .USE THE SEARCH MENU.

NEW INFORMATION:
So I have a set of BYC Upper and Lowers from way back when, In June hell maybe even May, I seen an updated post/rant session about some BYC products. Mike said he was replacing defective parts and such. Upon further inspection of my upper arms that were on my truck I seen they were bending and would eventually/more than likely fail. So I emailed him and we agreed he would replace the defective Uppers. I was put on a list of people waiting for parts and when he got them ready he would notify me..

So he has now emailed me and said my replacements Are Ready and gonna be shipped out ASAP.

He will be sending me:
2 New Upper Arms Powder Coated Low Gloss Black
2 New Crosshafts and Hardware
4 New Polly Bushings.

Once I recieve them I will post up some pics and my first impression opinion of them.

Well I got my Replacement Parts Yesterday......

Cross-shafts are a prototype he sent them for fitting and testing.

Everything Looks good so far they seem to be made a hell of alot better than the other set I first got from him back in the BYC days. The welds are cleaner the Ball joint plate provides more bracing. Powder coat came out nice. Cross-shafts im still on the fence about, but they were free for testing purposes so what the hell Y not, I still have my stock cross-shafts for road use once the truck leaves the shop.

Here are some pics of the The New Uppers








Hopefully I will get a chance to bolt em up soon to check the fitting

As far as i know right now he is just filling old orders and replacing bad parts from BYC.....I imagine once he gets caught up he will sell them again.
