The people that are involved in this hobby are some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. It truely is an honor to call many of the you on both sites my friends.

It's too bad Chris DeShane didn't feel the same. If he did, then he would have done everything in his power possible to make sure that Anthony got the car that he deserved. Instead he just gave up. And in doing so, he gave up on all of us.

I just don't get it. When you've got something great...why ruin it?

wow...... just goes to show that if you are a stand up guy good things will always find there way to you .Tony you were a class act in the beginning by not blowing your lid and letting the situation play out and that speaks boat loads of your character.

Comp-spec what an unbelievable thing you are doing i hope this gets out and the favor is returned 10 fold if you were just a little closer to N.y my project would be on its way to you for finishing.

Thanks for the kind words! Things are working out now and I'm real excited about the project once again!!

Yes Pete does deserve any press/future customers he gets from this...but that's not why he's doing it. He's a great guy and just wants to help!

As for your car...you're a lot closer to Pete than I am! Might be worth looking into!

WOW...I just read this ENTIRE THREAD...and it literaly teared me up ALMOST! anyways point is I've lurked here and PT.COM for a long time and gained alot of useful info and I know EXACTLY what you went through Anthony but I have never posted my story here or anywhere because mostly I was embarrased more than anything I paid my paint guy more than you did AND he kept my car for a year longer than promised! needless to say it looks like I got a nice $2,500 paint job for my 9k! I threatned to have B.A.R. get involved and he started telling me "your painter is the last guy you want to piss off!" so the car has been sittin in the garage after It got out of the interior shop...It will get done over some day I hope only been @ it since 2002 so far! good luck and keep your head up I will try to send some funds your way! Once again this is what bein Car guys/gals is about! commaradrie (sp) at its best! rocks!

Peter deserves great credit for this- he does stellar work and is a tru car guy at heart as well.
Oh and NY is NOT too far away if you want his work. I have customers from Oregon and California and IM in BOSTON- NY is only a few hours from here.
You want Pete's work? Make the drive.

I sent mine to Florida! Glad I did. 2000 in shipping sure beats a crappy job.
