Why is this question continuously skipped over here and in other threads? If we're supposed to be more community oriented then why the secrecy and cliquish behavior? I'm not looking for intimate details, and I doubt anyone else is either. If a falling out occurred, fine. It happens and is no big deal. If Bret has asked for privacy for whatever reason and no longer wishes to be apart of this community, that's fine as well of course. The ignoring of his absence and behavior, ie him deleting all the pictures, and acting as if he didn't exist at all is, quite frankly, annoying as hell. I'm not calling Dave or Doug out on this. This same issue occurred not too long ago with another member who frequented the board quite regularly as well. I don't think this is acceptable on a board that prides itself in being tighter knit or more community oriented.

I totally agree with you! There are shops posting on Lat G that are completely over their heads... have done crappy work - or overcharged for work done, and nobody says a word. Trust me... there have been many a back room dog fight over this issue. Here's the deal... unless the person DIRECTLY involved wants to post up their issues (whether it's the shop saying the customer is a bozo or the other way around) it's not anyone else's business to post up info they may have (second hand usually). The word tends to spread behind the scences... leaving most in the dark.

I'm not intimating there was anything askew here -- just posting a response to your "question" and statement about the community involvement is all because I feel very much the same as you do.

We - as a community - could go on for weeks debating issues. Was it miscommunication - was it over promise and under deliver - is it failure to pay - scope of work creep - creepy work - personality mismatch - customer wants more than was bargained for - change of plans.... and most all of the time there are two or perhaps three sides to every issue. Sometimes it might just come down to you're tired of waiting for your car to get worked on.

Can I assume you've tried contacting him? And this thread has been quite off the tracks for some time, so don't worry about that.

Actually you kinda are.

My response is a combination of the following:

1. If you don't have something nice to say, well then.... you all know the rest

2. I am just trying to leave the past in the past and move forward

3. Some information is not for public consumption and some of it I have been asked to keep private as such

Trey, if you or anyone has any specific questions, you could always PM me directly. Not everything is fit for the forum out in the open and that has nothing to do with cliques or secrecy... it has to do with time and place. A build thread is not a tell-all book. These are private business dealings here let's not forget that.

And yes the car is currently at Cortex Racing right now in Sonoma.

And as mentioned yesterday... and in an effort to get back on topic.... car updates coming soon.

I tell ya what... Roadster Shop has figured it out... finish the car... and then post the build thread details.

Happy Festivus everyone.

I knew you were fond of Mustangs cause of the stripes on your Camaro.
I never thought you'd take it to a Mustang shop, to get a full mustang conversion.

Yeah not sure about the Roadster shop comment. I saw the cars at SEMA, haven't looked at the build thread much, like I would watching it build up to SEMA. I totally understand if its a customer request though.
