We just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the guys who have called or Emailed notes to us this past week. You guys are correct, it is officially 50 years as of May 4th 2008. Leonard Fulkerson started Finish Line Engineering back on 05/04/1958. I got hooked up with him (part time) in the '70's, left GM Delco Moraine Engineering in 1983 to operate the business full time. Moving to Arizona We finally incorporated the business on May 4th 2000, in honor of Leonard's start. Thank you again, to all those who have been customers and friends. George and Kathleen

Duhhhh!!! You will have to excuse my lack of observance. I thought your member name gfinishline was because you used Finishline parts not that you make them.

Great stuff, used your parts exclusively on all my flats. Wish you all the success in the future.

Congrats George. You would not have stayed around for this long had your products and service not been top notch. Good luck to another fifty.

George,

In Phoenix a couple of weeks ago, somebody gave Wayne Mettler a steel FinishLine prop-puller that looked like it came off the shelf yesterday. It still had the FinishLine sticker on it and it was "date-stamped" (I believe 196_ something). It was found in somebody's garage and probably hadn't been used in 40 years.

Mike, we made those pullers for years and another company started making them. "They" spent lots of money on advertizing, we just made good parts for our customers. We sold ours and they went "world wide", that's just how it goes in business. Again, THANK YOU ALL!!! We will be again building our "all stainless" cavitation hardware, and will soon be offering our "center piviot" plate pads, mounted with two thru bolts. They will adapt to all plate angles, and be 100% stainless. (until someone copies us again) THANK YOU ALL!, George

Oh man what a weekend! I'm just starting to feel normal after all the food, drink and dancing.:D:D

It was a nice surprise seeing you and Sandy, what a coincidence we pull into Parker right at the same time.:D

George, that is great news! I would love to get my hands on a stainless control arm or two. I am tired of seeing the aluminum ones that have the keyway beat to death.

If you "check" them occasionally to make sure they are tight, they won't get beat to death!..
