Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if Jeff is back from his surgery? We have tried emailing him over the past few months, I have sent a PM through Moparts and called but have not heard back from him.
Thanks

I am in no way speaking for Jeff. But if he is not feeling good I would give him a little time. I am sure he will get back to you. He is a good guy.

Mike, I think Jeff has had the guy's intake for a couple of months already; it's kind of hard to be patient.

The short story is: two friends of mine sent intakes in to be ported, turnaround time 3-4 weeks. It has been almost three months now and they have no idea when they will get them back. Both guys are sitting there thru prime cruising season down here, for non-a/c cars. We all know Jeff is an outstanding craftsman and an upstanding guy. So also, are these two customers, who have tried repeatedly to get in touch with Jeff, phone calls and e-mails. Both of my friends are sympathetic people, who, if they were returned a call, with an explanation, would be both accomodating and understanding. We all hope the best for Jeff with whatever problems he is having, BUT, you absolutely have to let your customers know when there is going to be a delay of this nature. NO ONE wants to be treated this way, me or you. I hope Jeff will contact them immediatley so they can plan accordingly.

i have been diagnosed with cancer,, ill get them done,, if people leave me alone and let me work,, that would help as well
adenoid cystic carcinoma
i have had many tests and scans,, though joe's manifold should have been done even before they told me i had cancer,, and maybe the other i just have lost track of time going through all this, then everyonewho found out including my fanily stopping by to see me, talk with me,, get updated,, and its hard to port manifolds with people following you around..
im going for radiation treatment next weekend probably in seattle,, and will be there for a month or so,, all this stuff will be done in this comming week,, so you can get to cruising while im trying to stay alive...
thank you ,, and sorry for delays,, jeff

Jeff, Good luck my brother....do what YOU need to do to get healthy first...the rest is unimportant,no matter what others may think. I have been plagued over the last year and a half with a bunch of medical issues, and at first I tried to kill myself FOR everyone elses priorities. Then you realize that many things are way more important, but it takes a while to realize everyone elses fun isnt a priority after all. If you get a second, drop me a cell number by PM, I have something I'd like to mention. Good luck, stay positive, and get well....

Sorry to hear about your problems, Jeff  I hope things turn around for you  ......but, DANG, that was a pretty cheap shot......
There are problems and situations.......If time and/or money can fix it, it's just a situation........If time and/or money can't fix, you've got a problem........
If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

mike, what part of your head did you get radiation on at mt clemens? there are a huge list of side effects with conventional radiation when dealing with internal cancers around the brain/head area
seattle has a neutron beam radiation program which is specific for my type of cancer,, they say they see 200 or so cases a year worldwide,, there are fewer side effects with their procedure
so far the cancer board at troy beaumont said to goto seattle,, i have to be present at the royal oak beaumont cancer board meeting on thursday to discuss either more surgery or just off to seattle
it looks like this has been caught early enough so its not as big of a deal if caught at 6 months or so,, the fear is that it could metasasis to the base of my brain through nerve endings, but it hasnt happened yet,, and i need to get treatment as soon as possible,, if that happens then its not good
im working on joes manifold right now,, it will ship monday,, ill overnight it so you have it asap
