A Message from the Two-Man Team at Rick’s Machine Shop

To everyone who’s already been here and is still waiting

we truly appreciate your patience. We’re a small two-man team working nonstop to get every engine done and out the door. If your build is overdue, you’re not forgotten we’re pushing hard to finish every project the right way.

That said, moving forward:

If you need your engine urgently, a rush fee will apply starting now.

If your engine is not picked up after completion, a storage fee will apply. We do not have the space to hold finished engines.

We will no longer allow pressure or repeated check-ins to push our schedule. Builds are done in the order received, with fairness and quality as top priorities.

We don’t take shortcuts, and we won’t compromise quality to meet a deadline that wasn’t part of the original agreement.

Thank you to everyone who understands and continues to support us.

— Rick’s Machine Shop
Built by hand. Backed by pride.
