OT: Showcars/Bodyparts, since it's slow



So every so often someone asks about buying a CF hood or fenders off these
guys, and I have one of their hoods, which was a second and sure isn't a
first. But that's what I signed on for. So my son is trying to improve the
looks of his 88 Fox body notchback Mustang. And guess who sells a front air
dam for said car? :)
So against my warnings, he sends the guy money on his VISA, and that was in
early August. A week or so, the guy tells him. As I recall, it is now
heading into late September. The latest? A few weeks back the guy tells him
they'll start it once payment is made. Oh, you've already paid for it.
We'll get right on it then. Two days ago, after repeated failed attempts to
contact the guy, he finally got through and they I
said "Yeah, it's half done, it'll be done tomorrow." Tonight's efforts? On
hold for ten minutes, then a no answer. I'm just laughing. The car's ready
for paint except for this missing piece. Yeah, just don't do business with
this bozo, okay? He's a treat when you're local, I can only imagine how
nice he is to deal with at distance. It's not over yet, I'm sure the part
won't fit even somewhat. I can't beleive they don't have that sort of thing
in stock, it's hardly a rare upgrade for a rare car, you know?
