The custom engine business sux. Engine builders are always waiting on one custom part or another. Smart engine builders are on top of their scheduling and invest in inventory to minimize delays. And a good businessman will never lie to you about a delivery date. If you have been jerked for an unreasonable 15 months, it's time to act.
Start with the obvious: Ask him what parts are in stock and what parts he is still waiting on. Compare that value against your deposit. Armed with that knowledge, you can then decide if you want to pull the job.
The main problem is that Nelson may have spent your deposit on another customer's parts--not yours. 15 months is too long!!!!
