Wow this build and thread went in a direction I never saw coming.

Does seem like Prodigy all over again.

Kinda hope it all works itself out and thats not the case.

This year did suck for you guys. You stepped in dog sh!t and Rob's dog stepped on his eye. You better be able to lap a half blind man. Hoping next year is MUCH better!

I just noticed Rons vendor section is no longer there? Sad if he goes silent and doesn't try to repair all of this.

Are you going to post in the feedback section Greg so others don't have to search for this information through your car build? It would give Ron an opportunity to resolve this if he was going to. I still can't believe he's gone silent this long.

Was he removed as a person from the site as well? He's been a ghost since this all came down. Not even ONE post trying to defend himself. Guess that goes to show his character.

Sometimes even your best intentions aren't rewarded.....

No I'm not --- since nobody else did either - and that's EXACTLY how this crap gets perpetuated. I've done enough heavy lifting.

Maybe he's busy shipping and catching up? Let it play out.

He still has a regular user account... his vendor status and ads were revoked/removed.

Lap seems like a big ask. I don't see it happening. Even out of one eye.

IDK about Prodigy that was theft, but it's worse in some very personal ways.

The betrayal of commitments made to Greg and the lack of respect for Greg, as a friend battling a terminal diagnosis, should make anyone, with a soul, sick to their stomach.

Greg was providing a platform for Ron to showcase his entire business. Remember Greg was not just a customer but a friend who payed all the bills forward. Does everyone realize that capital and the ability to generate Cash flow is paramount to getting a business off the ground?

Imagine if you had a friend willing to help you catapult your business forward and didn't ask for anything more than the product you were selling; At a price higher than what you would eventually sell that product for; NOT a discount.

You'd screw that friend over by wasting some sand in his draining hourglass right? Makes me want to throw up thinking about it.

On one hand Greg makes me want to believe there is good in people.

On the other hand after watching Gregs scenario play out (and some dealings with a few friends on the forum have experienced; not theft, just disrespectful treatment of them) Ron reminds me to put my trust in my dogs.

Everyone on here is an adult. Decide for yourself who to do business with and take care of your own issues like an adult.

I had been following this build and even asked a few questions along the way because I thought I could use the info in my build. I haven't dumped $200K into my '69 Firebird, but I did buy brakes, seats, harnesses, and info from Ron. I have to say, that I am small beans compared to some of the people that Ron deals with (ie Greg Weld), but he always seemed to give me great advice and service. He even went to the lengths to loan me pressure gauges (for free)when I was dealing with a brake set up issue. He was also available via talk/text when I was figuring things out.
That being said, I am also a business owner that has to deal with online reviews. I don't get into public online arguments with clients because it looks bad and is a no-win situation for me and my business. Hopefully Ron will make things right, but I don't expect to hear much about it initially (at least on an online forum).
This build took a turn that reminds me a lot of online dating. The last woman I went out with looked smokin' hot in all of her Facebook pictures. I mean, to the point that I thought she was going to be the best looking woman I had ever gone on a date with! With much anticipation we finally met in person. Let's just say that the years haven't been good to her and all of the filters a woman can use on her pictures can work miracles!!! The video that Greg posted about the build quality of his car make me look like Chip Foose!
