A shame you stopped, I'm certain it was a good read even if it just helped you vent. You'll notice I didn't even mention money in my post. It was never about the labor cost with us. We only wanted a professional job done on time. Tradesmen like you are few and far between nowadays.

Thanks Jeff. I understand what your saying and there is alot of truth to what you say. Trust me I know....as a superintendent I was extremely aggressive and if you didn't work as hard as I did you never got my respect and on many occasions got sent down the road. Things didn't change as an owner.....and as an inspector.....God help us!! I dread what the future brings from our future tradesman/buiders. Truth is the good ones will most likely be from south of the border. As long as they're legal I can live with that.

Default Wow just saw this

hey Guys, These were brought to my attention a couple of years ago when one of my good customers sent one to me and said "you gotta see this" It was even still packaged in Chinese newspaper. The worst part about it is nobody in China saw my part and decided to rip it off, it was an American that purchased it and sent it over there to be duplicated. The part was rough to put it nicely.

I can get pissed about this all I want it's not going to do me any good. Therefore I chose to keep smiling and keep improving my products. Sorry if Iv'e been MIA for a while, the last couple of years have been super busy. Recently we have added a CNC machining center in house to help with lead times as well as have more control of our product. I assure you nobody in China or anywhere else is going to keep me from feeding my family.

Here are a few pictures of what we have been working on. Thanks to all my loyal customers and thanks for looking.

People who buy a re-bodied Fiero are not taking business away from Lamborghini, trust me.
