Since its over can you tell us the name and location of this shop? We are going to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.

That is fantastic that you got the car back! Please do share the name of this shop and its location so no-one else has to endure this type of thievery!

Same here. Please tell us the name/location of the shop.

Glad it's over and you got your car back.

I'm not sure that you should do that Grnova! If you choose to Sue him, you don't want to appear slanderous. In fact if you are thinking you might take Legal Action, I would ask the Moderators to Delete this whole Thread.

Glad you got the car back!

Wow! What a mess! Glad you got your car back though and hopefully with everything intact!!


Call me paranoid but do yourself a favor.... Check all your fluids, check your intake/ air filter/ throttle body for any "loose" hardware," and drain and refill the oil and check the gas tank for any signs of tampering (sugar, etc..) before you start the engine up. Make sure the trans and diff have proper fluid and observe for any signs of tampering.

If this guy was that much of an ass you want to make sure he didn't leave you with any parting gifts.

What an incredibly frustrating ordeal.

Perhaps one of you shop owners that chimed in about having/using a contract could provide one in a generic form to this forum as a Sticky so that all of us newbies could modify/print it out should we ever take a car to a shop. Figure it'll at least provide us with some clue as to how and what should be expected.

Just a thought.

Front brake lines
 
All brake lines were run in AN fittings -per the shop owner- here are some shots from last night.
I will get some of the exhaust.

Exhaust
 
so here is a picture of the exhaust before I sent it to him it needed to be mounted and flex couplers put in.

This is finished, mounted mufflers on crossmember, installed 3" flex couplers at headers, mounted tail pipes from watts linkage frame.
