Keith Black did not go bankrupt. Ken Black and his mother still own part of the company. There for serious fraud has been taking place. Now, I'm very happy blocks are available, it's great that RBRE got one or maybe even more than one. Now my block is poured, machined, I have pics of it, the serial number assigned to it. It's been waiting on sleeves for a year now. What's so expensive about dropping in the sleeves and sending it out the door? I myself own 2 business. I've bought several and sold several business in the past. When you buy the business, you buy the debt, inventory, contracts, etc. There are always stipulations. I repeat, Keith Black did not go broke. Ken and his mother do still own a share of the company. About to go bankrupt and going bankrupt are not the same thing. If Keith Black had filed bankruptcy I would have my block. I have plenty of documents from Ken clearly saying and showing my block with the serial number 426-555. My posts were not intended to start a urinating contest.  I'm betting the trolls defending KB would be singing a different tune if they were out over 7K and a block for a couple years!!! you trolls crack me up!! "worth the wait" is what ive see more than a few times on this forum... I too was owed a block,waited,waited then waited some more,decided to make a road trip and saw failing company that had taken lots of money from me and other people.after a couple more road trips, my problem stricken block (miss machined and welded on )was picked up... worth the wait? I DONT THINK SO!!! I wish nothing but the best of luck to Tim Banning,Ray Barton and any one else involved in the new venture, with KB, glad to see some QC before Barton ships these blocks,Im sure the quality of what is going out to the customers will be much better than what I recived .

When I inquired about a block from Ken, the price was $5500.00. That was with hydraulic oiling. I wrote my requests on the buildsheet. Sent it back and mailed a 50% deposit. I mailed it on a Thursday and then I read about all the lies about customers not getting their blocks. People waiting almost 2 years so I stopped payment on my check.
Seems the price went up quite a bit. Isn't Indy's around $5200.00 IIRC.
I'd love to own one of these blocks some day but I will wait till a bunch of blocks have shipped with success. Sammy You will still be spending money getting an Indy block ready after it arrives for that price.

So, if someone ordered and paid for a finished, ready to assemble block 2 years ago, and has a paper trail showing the agreed price for the block was $5500(+/-)....... Do they get their block for that agreed to price?
Or do they have to pay the difference for the new price of $6895?
Just curious.

OK
As far as the order of the blocks shipping. YES the majority of blocks that are back ordered (including mine) will be shipped as soon as possible. However, if the first 40 to 50 blocks out the door were resulting in zero cash flow,
Todd Based on your comment, if there really are 40 or 50 blocks owed to people who already paid, how long before blocks are available on a stocking basis? you know like the chvrlet boys can just pick up the phone and say send me a block and it is there in a couple of days.
