I have kept my dealings with Dave private, as I wasn't sure how my dealings with him were going to play out.
I will say that I sold him a set of 1970 Challenger 3 piece tail light assy. back in mid December.
I was in touch with him many times after that.
I was on the verge of feeling that I got a nice screw job handed to me by Dave.
Fast forward to present.......
I just received a check for those parts a few days ago, with a nice letter.
So my personal experience with Dave is that he is a man of his word, (even though it took a lot longer than expected, hid did explain himself throughout, and in the end, turned out to be a great dude in my eyes
I would never put words in anyone's mouth, but I just think he may have just had some sh!tty luck lately.
I'll give him a call, and see what's up
