First of all your novel is one of the most self serving pieces I have ever read. From a marketing perspective it fails, from a sincerity perspective it fails and from an apology perspective it is embarrassing. The only thing you have thoroughly covered is excuses.
I visited your booth on 3 occasions during the show only to receive the attitude that has been referred to in this post. My opinion after speaking with you personally and two of your people is the name of your company should immediately be changed to "Legends in Our Own Minds".
If anyone was as good as you all asserted you were and all of the competition was as bad as you took the time to mention you would be in every hall of fame in the business and build 90% of the custom cars in the country.
After seeing your two cars this year and several cars in prior years I only have a couple questions:
1. Why do you never show a completely finished car?
2. Do you not consider fit and finish important ?
I have never seen gaps and finish in a quality show car like the Nova. Is it a new thing to see inside the trunk with the lid closed? Why don't you show the car with the doors open? you could avoid highlighting the 1/2" gap in door front vs. the 1/4" in the rear or the 1/4" variance from top to bottom. Trim throughout the car is also meant to fit flush and tight. Although, please keep in mind these are minor things I look at when I am having a car built or buying parts.
The Mustang isn't far off but I didn't spend as much time on that one.
You should spend more time with your fabricators on quality than
editorializing on the web. I guess there is always Wyotech.

This is exactly what I am talking about, YOU ARE RIGHT FIT AND FINISH and I think I have stated my two cents about that enought. We only had 4 days into both cars sorry we could not please you. I bring what I want to SEMA to show work I dont really care if you think we can or can not finish a car. You must be talking about the wrong booth.
