Aaron Kaufman Talks About His Future Away From Television


This article is two months old but I just came across it. Has anyone heard of his F100 offerings?

Apparently the dude isn't aware of what is out there now. Not sure what he will have to offer for a F100 that is any better or different than what is currently available.

If he just offered some production quality sheet metal, that would be a good start.

This guy is way over rated. He isn't any more talented than most of the guys on this website.

Kaufman's venture was referred to as "The Arclight Company".

Dunno if it will be a holding company with an LLC or whether hel'll be implementing a DBA ("doing business as").

No results from a websearch although there was mention of signing to lease a facility.

... at a minimum, he is "rated".

I think what is important here, more so than his talent, is that his celebrity status coupled with his passion for Ford trucks will give exposure to the year models neglected by the aftermarket. This could be good for us

As we all know, competition in any market is a good thing. If he can offer quality parts, perhaps it will cause other to up there game a bit. Perhaps even drive end user costs down a little. It's a win-win for Ford nuts like us. If his equipment sucks, we're not out anything. If it's good, we have yet one more option at our disposal.

It's my understanding, he and KC are going to start a utube channel show.

If this is the same psukraw (and it seems to be), according to what he's written, he moved from Stockton, CA and now lives in Chandler, AZ.

Best recollection I have, Aaron lives in Texas. So, it would appear they aren't the same person.
