Hey AWR68 Tell us about what happened!

[ArisESQ]

maaaaan, that is really really crappy.

i was actually just thinking about your car the past week, and wanted to message you and see how it was going since i hadn't seen any updates in a long while. i guess i can see why now :<

to be honest with you, the unfortunate truth is that there are a lot of really shady people that are not deserving of your trust in this industry. it seems like there are a lot of guys who are more than willing to test your good will for their own benefit. thats not to saythat there arent fantastically awesome and helpful people here too, like steve, the guys at prodigy, and the creators and supporters of this site!

race rodz basically used you guys as a way to see what his life as a fabricator could be like, and if it was something that he even wanted to do. i guess when the stress got too high from him he just ditched everything that he promised and went on to "bigger and better" things. i hope his boyfriend is proud of him.

sorry to hear about your ordeal, im sure most of use have dealt with incompetent and unethical shops, it took me a few tries but im lucky enough now to be at a place where the work is done for the price quoted or less and the work is done to my satisfaction.It took alot of years and wasted money to get to this point though.hopefully someone local to you steps up and gives you good deal.

Well you won't be dissapointed in Best Of Show... great guys. Let me know when it does go there and I can shoot some cool stuff on it there.

This "cheaper isn't always" deal comes up a lot. BOS will quote a job and then the guy comes back and says "XYZ shop will do it for half!"... Later on they find out the the experince at XYZ shop was a cluster you-know-what and that customer had to pay to have it fixed.

Stuff costs what stuff costs and if you get a dirt cheap bid then they HAVE TO cut corners someplace.

Cheap isn't good and good isn't cheap. :shrug:

Damn Tony I'm realy sorry you had to deal with all of that, I thought I had problems with a 10 month paint jail, my issues were nothing compared to this, best of luck on your recovery from this ordeal.

[Nine Ball]

What a mess. Post up this guy's full name so that future Google searches will find it and this thread. What a coward, dropping your car off like that.

All we need is your trucking connection and Prodigy Customs and................
