So Tyson had 2 friends banned that he told to stop or edited his post to ask them to "STOP"??? HHHMMMM

I was told he edited his post by a moderator?

[QUOTE=Steve1968LS2;193339]To be fair to Tyson it looks like that was a buddy of his trying to "stir the pot".. Tyson asked him to stop.

I guess what I'm trying to tell everyone is to resist the urge to "bandwagon" against either side.[/QUOTE

All I know is that I have spent hours looking at Roger's work on his website
and I have a problem believing he left this car in the shape it's in !! Let's see it before the other shops got involved!! That said, Roger I think this thread needs to be ended !! Not going to be solved here!!

I am surprised the mods have allowed this thread, I have watched this site and been a user on pro touring for a while.... Normally these posts about vendors are deleted? I guess with more and more of them poping up, the mods are finally sticking up for the users of their sites.

Barry, it all depends on how we it is approached. If it's simply a smear campaign, it will be deleted.

Also, members and lurkers need to know that if we hear/see the words LAWYER or LITIGATION or LIBEL, those threads have been - and will be - deleted instantly. No debate.

Actually, you can order a 9" housing center or pinion center. For a 69 you would order a pinion center, regardless the link brackets would be the same distance off bearing ends measuring off a pinion centered or housing centered rear.

So yes the brackets look to be welded in correctly, but that appears to be the wrong housing.

I don't keep up on all the drama. All I know is that Tyson had sent me a complaint email. I told him not to post under assumed names and he told me that it was someone he knew that thought he was helping. I told him it wasn't and he told the guy to stop.

I'm not smart enough to do IP traces. lol

Either way the complainer was a shill so he was banned. We can't abide people acting like they are disinterested third parties, it's just not honest.

The truth of the matter is that threads like this go nowhere. The best thing is for the customer to work out a deal with the shop so that both sides end up satisfied. I know that's not always possible, but it's the best case senario every time.

It amazes me that members that are normally in the shadows and not contributing to this website in any way always come out of their shell when they see some trouble brewing. How do you expect to be recieved? I frequent another website where you introduce yourself first, before you start asking for help or challenging members with a reputation.

well as a fabricator who touched this car toward the end of its time at the shop. all i can say is that when you bring a car to a shop that has been rearended extremely hard at some point in its life. enough to where the roof was kinked and the trans tunnel wrinkled. and you expect that anyone can fix it for pennies your ignorant. its not that the work is bad its that its unfinished. i know that wasn't our final product! show everyone the pics of the roof and tunnel!

It has nothing do with "sticking up for the users" since that assumes any of us knows who, if anyone, is at fault here.

The OP started this thread to ask opinions, he didn't mention the name of the shop. It was the shop's decision to address the thread.

Both sides have now given their sides and it's very likely the thread will eventually be locked.

Why? because a bunch of internet people that only know parts of the story really can't come to the truth in a matter like this. The best they can do is read both sides, look at past work and come to their own personal conclusions.

As a website we don't like to become entangled in these "he said/she said" deals since, in theory, it could make the site a party to the complaint. I'm sure how you could see that the site owner wouldn't be up for that sort of fun.

It's also true that the site isn't the automotive equivelant of the People's Court. lol
