Walnut, IMO the addition of Dr. Gas will not be "fluffy", it will be a part of the solid foundation Aero is putting down, more to build on. Think of the benefits of adding Dr. Gas. First of course is that they can bend pipes right now to help alleviate the back order situation. That means instant improvement in the revenues. Second, Boyd Butler is the owner of Dr. Gas and he wants to retire. Naturally he wants the company he worked so hard to build up to continue and his present employees to have jobs in the future. They will. Third, when Mr. Butler retires he takes with him an enormous amount of knowledge of exhaust engineering, knowledge that Aero can draw upon for future production. Fourth, and perhaps most important of all is the fact that Dr. Gas makes exhaust systems for large trucks and buses and has connections there who know and respect him. If Boyd Butler tells Freightliner engineers that he is convinced that adding Aero mufflers to his pipe systems will increase mileage, horsepower, torque, and allow longer engine life and be warranted forever, won't they listen to the man whom they have been dealing with? That alone would probably guarantee that Aero gets into large long haul trucks. And if it is good enough for new ones, it is just as good for existing trucks. I don't think that Dr. Gas is a "fluff" acquisition. It may be the most valuable thing for Aero since . . . since the Aero stainless steel lifetime muffler.
