I have 3 cars in different shops and every one is in an abyss--- a black hole of promises unfulfilled ( dramatic enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) ) . So I am now officially on suicide watch. There is no one who commits to s_____ anymore...
The track car is now at 3 months waiting for the carburetor Nazi ( you know who I mean) to ship the big ones that he demands the money for when you place the order. Another project for body work that would "take a week" ...Waited about 5 months to get in and now at 2 more without progress. Last car was simple engine bay paint that I mistakenly added a fender to improve ..."but don't even attempt unless you get perfect match" "Call me when you get back from vacation I should be done" ( week and a half) one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... I got back to ..."I'm leaving town for 1/2 week"...then this week ..."oh I missed the color" ) then " have to go in for outpatient surgery "......but I'l be back Monday ..........( yeah but wont be able to lift a gun to paint dumb ass) Do I sound F-ing bitter ...No I' m on suicide watch I can't be bitter ...And my guess is we all get the same shit ! And we F ---ing tolerate it ..>Seriously we are pinheads and I am Prez of the club (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Don't worry I am obviously too stupid to pull the trigger and there are no cars in the garage to take a midnight cruise to nowhere in. |

Mark at Original Customs has done a lot of work for me at different times. He always finished the work within the time frame he quoted. Also the work was outstanding. .
Of course he's in Michigan, but better to have a car hauled to someone who's going to do it right and on time, then to go through the frustration. The biggest mistake I made when first flaring my 914 was relying on a local body guy to do the work. When I finally pulled the plug and took it to another "body shop" I ended up with the same situation. Finally took the car to Tony at TC design and he sorted it all out. What I learned was if you buy body parts from someone that publishes perfect finished pictures and swears that all the body parts fit easily, take it to him and say I want the car to look just like your published pictures, i.e., in all aspects like fasteners done right and such. In my situation it would have been worth a trip to AZ to get it done. |
