Man, what a heartache and a headache. Glad Jody is able to help you though--what a great resource Lat G is. You will make it through --I think everyone has been through this in some way/shape/form--but it doesn't make it any easier. Phone calls that are never returned are the toughest for me personally. You can understand it happening once or twice---but over and over--that is tough to handle. Maybe there is a place in our community for a Vendor Hitman---or Collector. Guido the "Follow Through" hitman.

Sorry to hear that you are having these issues... I've been ordering parts for a new build I've just started and when I called my first vendor of choice that I've probably bought 3-4 transmissions from in the past I was given a 8-12 week delivery time for a T56 Magnum. I picked up the phone and called vendor #2 who had it on my doorstep for the same price a week later because they had several sitting on the shelf. I always say you should support the vendors that support your community but don't do it blindly. Sad fact is nowadays that you don't really know the truth to why that vendor is having issues and none of us can afford to give our hard earned $$ and not get our parts.

I get frustrated with this as an enthusiast who works on his own car on his own schedule, I can't imagine how frustrating this would be as a pro-shop with customers demanding answers... I feel for ya!

Default An observation

I read through Greg Welds new thread ''ANOTHER HOTROD'' . If I'm SAR'S I'm kicking myself so hard in the ass its not even funny!! Look at the money this guy lost just on Gregs cars alone!. How do you let a guy Like Greg Weld slip through your fingers??? CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! He built this guy a roadster that had a ton of problems, Greg just wanted them corrected,not alot to ask right? But no instead they decided to piss this guy off enuff that he had to take his car to Brizio to get the problems corrected. And guess what now Brizio is building Greg a 33. So now SAR'S will never see a dollar of Gregs money again and Mr Weld has a couple of dollars to spend as we all know. Some of the other things that SAR'S may or may not realize is the circle of friends Greg has that may want to build something in the future(you know these big money dudes stick together ) I really don't think Greg will be recomending SAR'S anytime soon.So they loose on that end to. In the end bad customer service will get you sooner or later .. I have two more projects that I'll be funding in the very near future and there's a few guys that won't be getting my$$$$$$. Oh day 92 by the way!!

It appears Mr. SAR(RY) doesn't have a clue what you're saying or he would have apologized to Greg and sent him a healthy check back.
