Thumbs down Scott Mock VRP subframe

First let me state that this thread is being made to state facts and not to bash anyone. This is based on my personal experience and everyone as adults should make there own finally decisions on were to spend there money and who to deal with. I have all emails to verify my posts and since contacting him he had changed his listing in the suspension section and deleted all pics of the new 2013 Scott Mock VRP frame design.That being said on I go.

I talked to Scott Mock in mid December 2013 and purchased his new 2013 VRP frame design because he was running a $500 off for members,$5400 total. We discussed what I wanted done and a completion date of the end of January 2014.

After 3 months of his excuses, building me the wrong frame, snow, crack ribs, car show with his son and building me the wrong subframe and having to re build the right subframe for me, I finally received my subframe for my 68 Camaro.

On inspection i found cold/ bad welds, missing upper shock mount "diamond" supports, the cross member only had one mounting location for T56 transmission even tho his new design showed multiple transmission mounting locations,the frame was not Da'd or sanded ready for powder coating as his add stated and the most recent was the sway bar mounting tube not square.

I contact Scott and he refund me $200 for not welding on the "diamond" upper shock support brackets, to grind out his bad welds and re weld myself and to sand the frame myself to get it ready to powder coat. I took the refund because something is better then nothing and he apologized. Recently when I went to install the sway bar it was difficult. I put the frame against the wall and checked for square and measured it and found the sway bar mount was way off.

I again contact Scott and he told me

" i already refunded you $200, discounted the frame $500 ( even tho it was a discount for all members), the sway bar mount being off is an easy fix, just cut off one side , square it up and re weld it"

He then went on to tell me I could fix it myself easy or send it back on my dime and he'll fix another of his mistakes.

This was the last draw for me. I told him I'd keep the frame and repair it myself and I'd never do business with him again. I told him he should of done quality work to begin with and not count on the customer to do the repairs. If i didn't know how to weld I'd be paying more then his $200 refund to repair this frame at a shop. After a 3 month wait this frame should of been top notch.

To me customer service is everything and wrongs need to be corrected, no excuses. He did own up to his first mistakes and refunded me $200 but didn't correct the sway bar mistake. It was to many mistakes to begin with. I work graveyard shift and don't have time to return frames on my dime and wait for his mistake to be fixed for the 5th time after I already paid $5400 dollars.

Now I have to, bend and weld on the upper shock "diamond" supports, grind out and re weld bad welds,DA my own frame, cut off the transmission mounts and fabricate and weld on my own and now repair the crooked sway bar mount. All his mistakes.

He lost my business but most of all my respect.

I have all emails, pictures of his original posts, etc to verify everything. Members are also welcome to come view the frame before i repair it myself.

Hope this helps members when making there next expensive purchase.

Below is a few pics of bad welds, crooked say bar mount, etc. Thanks Everyone
