Builds a nice product, just disappeared and dropped promises for quite a while. Wouldn't respond to me either, so it's up to the individual person if they want to order from them.

After reading here and a few other forums I took a leap of faith. I wanted something a bit different so ordered when Mike posted his Memorial Day sale (he posted to Facebook) I have a 67 Camaro and ordered the dash, door & rear quarter panels, center dash & a couple of AC bezels. The center dash and AC bezels came in pretty quick, the door & quarter panels took about 5 weeks and the dash just got here (8 weeks) To be fair, I also called Marquez and they told me 8 weeks too. (but they answer their phone) It all looks very cool and can not wait to install once I get to that point. Similar experience, lack of communication, later than promised shipment, but quality work.

With that, if you used his door panels, did you go with his recommendation of the Smart-Parts door handle? I was looking at the Fesler, like their styles much better.

I know this an old thread but I wanna share my experience thus far, so I sent an email inquiring about a console left my number in the email. The next day I received a call from him giving me details about the console I wanted, asked if everything was on track because I had read on a couple forums where guys were waiting for weeks!! He proceeded to tell me that was along time ago and most items were in stock and would ship out with in a week. Well being a business owner myself I know **** happens so what the hell told him I was ready to order. He said doesn't do PayPal or credit card only mail in check. (Which I thought was odd) however took a leap of faith and mailed him a check. After a week goes by I sent an email asking when he might ship the console out so I could schedule my car for interior.. well let's just say it's been over three weeks a few emails and attempted calls still have not gotten back to me!! Now as I said before I know things happen but if you can't communicate with your customers this is a problem!! Especially when I was told console was in stock ready to go!! Hopefully I receive later than never! Just wanted to share with you guys my experience so far.

Red Flags are up!!!

Yeah, some folks saw me speaking with them on Facebook.

He's saying Dec9 on a complete second gen Camaro - console, dash, door panels and rear panels.

I'd really love to get it, cause then I can do the rest myself. Wouldn't mind a real timeline, with real communication, but not sure I'd get it.

Who is a decent replacement to look at?

I wanna update that I finally received my console today. Was a relief that he came through. The product looks very nice. I have not attempted to install at this point. I think with a little more communication and just be honest with the customers he could make a very profitable business. Just my two cents. He has several more parts for the second gen I would love. But I will wait until i start to see some more positive feedback.

grendel 01-26-2017 06:26 PM

Well, I guess I should not have been so fast to talk about my transaction.

I am still waiting, a month after he said he was boxing up, for my rear panels I paid him 500.00 for.

After giving multiple chances to resolve the order I am forced to do the first negative review of a business online. After reading many post about no communication and delayed parts in the past, and several positive stories earlier this year, I decided to chance it and order a console from Michael Ball at modern classic interiors. DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS FRAUD!!!!

Facts- On Jan 4th i ordered a single console from him by using the order form on the website http://www.modernclassicsinteriors.com/contact-us.html. The next day i was contacted by phone by Michael Ball from modern classics. There was an issue with the order form. My address did not go through. I gave it to him, and asked him If the console was instock ready to ship. His response was "that there is 4 of them siting on the shelf ready and will ship this week." I explained to him that i rad several negative reviews about shipping time and was assured that was not the case and several years ago. He said he would send a invoice later that day and to send a check. NO paypal, CC or cash. Check only.I thought with was weird but I let it slide. Maybe he is old school and likes paper trails. I finally received an invoice- a microsoft word typed invoice. the chech was mailed and delivery confirmed on the 14th. The check posted to the account on the 18th. I have never received any call, text, or email saying the order had shipped. I called on the 20th at 1541 only to get a voice mail. I left a message. Being friday afternoon I decided I will give him over the weekend. On the 26th at 1504, I placed another call to him. Once again, I received a voice mail. I left one asking for a tracking number. NO RESPONSE. I place another voice call to him on 1-31 at 1328. Again, voice mail and NO return call. I Used the contact us form on the website to send him a message trying to get a hold of him. AGAIN its 2-09-17 and I have not heard ANYTHING ALL all after payment was cashed.

It appears the facebook page is down or I am blocked from it. Why I dont know because no message was sent through social media of any kind.

I WARN ANY AND ALL to stay VERY FAR AWAY from this COMPANY. It appears that there are several companies using the same number, email, or address on business licenses. The company does not show up in the business records in FT wayne,that i can find online, unless the name has changed again.

I am out 514 dollars and time to complete this car. The interior is the last thing to be done and is waiting on the console to go to the upholstery place. I will be perusing legal means or recovery but I CAUTION EVERYONE.......DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MODERN CLASSICS, MODERN CLASSIC INTERIORS OR ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH MICHAEL G BALL IN FT WAYNE INDIANA WITH THE NUMBER OF 260-442-8382.


I would like the console sent or money returned immediately. Really I would like the product I paid for.

A complaint to the BBB of indiana was filed and Will try to call bank about funds but being a check i doubt they will be able to do anything .


again NO BUSINESS WITH MODERN CLASSICS....... I will update with any change that come in the future.

weircc 02-11-2017 04:12 PM

Your story is exactly the same story I had! I have tried to worn everyone of this shady operation! But I see ppl still taking chances. I would say stay after him that's what I did and after 2 months I finally received my console. Good luck and I hope you get it brotha!!
