Ballers Inc Taking Over FBM Factory

I just called FBM Factory to inquire about the Gothic Cocker Body w/ Spikes and they informed me that they are in the middle of the transition. They informed me that they will no longer be making some bodies and are still waiting to get access to the website. Best of luck to Ballers Inc with the takeover and hopefully they can fix the tainted rep ive heard FBM caused themselves (never experienced any though).

I know the guys at Ballers, Inc. they have one cool/chill owner and one thats, eh. FBM has been going downhill for the last couple of years though, so hopfully new management will kickstart the business.

FBM suffered a fire to their facility. One they haven't been able to recoop from. Before that they were doing ok.

Thumbs down

I had FBM do some anodizing once.
Never do that again.

I really like their half-assed bodies. But havent had the pleasure of dealing with them. I bought my body off another forum. Like the looks but I dont know if it was their mini job or the person I bought it off of but the body are so small that the front block has play in it.

Any idea what the current stock/service situation is with them? I'm interested in buying a few drop forwards, and after reading this thread wanted to be sure that they're still taking orders - I dropped them an email, but have yet to hear anything back.
