Wow!

Each time I see his picture on the catalog after reading your experience with him I think of the people in the world who tell the "I caught a fish this big..." stories.

The picture and last line are like a subliminal message of impending danger.

Wow

Can't wait to see the progress here. Hopefully Blake keeps the thread updated with pics!

Here’s a good question....


Who puts a 40 pound 3.5” STEEL drive shaft in a car using a 8” triple disc clutch??

Asking for a friend.

What a fuggin mess!
I can confirm that's not 2,000* coating.
I'm really curious what the tune looks like...betting it's "lean and mean"
Kurt will probably throw half of the engine in the trash and start over.

This would not be the first time a customer of Sutton has discovered he sold them something and it was not installed/included in their "goods"....

For those few customers of Sutton who have been defending him til the end, I don't see how they defend this kind of utter dishonestly and complete lack of integrity. Selling people something and NOT providing it is pretty damn black and white.

Good luck with that new business, Sutton......

I get f'in lied to constantly in the real estate business. I was telling my assistant last week that this life is pretty damn simple. TELL THE TRUTH. It will keep your ass out of countless places you don't belong.
