All my parts have arrived from Midwest. I got a early battery box cover, rear bumper and hat channels. The quality is PRIMO and I don't know how the guy makes a profit producing parts with that detail but I'm glad he is able to remain in operation.

I used to work in a machine shop a long time ago and he looks like he is using laser cutting for his sheet metal parts. Those machines are super expensive. Also his break press work is perfect on the rear bumper. Usually you see some taper over a long channel bend if the guy doesn't know how to adjust the machine.

Even the battery box cover had the correct bend to fit the contour of the battery box. I didn't expect that because he would have to hand work it or build a tool to stamp it correctly. Would have been easy to skate by with just keeping it flat.

The hat channels are over the top. The bends in those things are unreal. I almost feel guilty putting them on Lil' Bastard cause he doesn't deserve them. Can't wait to spend more money at Midwest.

I agree with you,

John Bizal is a nice guy and its parts are premium quality. I bought some parts from John for my M38CDN and never I've been disappointed with the service that he done and the quality of parts he sold me.

Cheers from Canada

John is a member of the Red Bull HMV Club here in MN. We have one of our meetings at his place in the early spring each year. He usually has a new part or process to show us. His quality of workmanship on his parts is beyond reproach. Really great guy with an outstanding staff of dedicated machinists.
