Wow.
Lots of information, I sent you 2 PM and that is flooding your mail. Ok. (asking him who he was, and why he said this)
2nd. I did't paint johns car, install the hood pins, or do any of the interior. That was done by other people. The paint was under warranty and the painter was more than willing to fix any mistakes. He was never and still has never been made aware of any mistakes. He was never given any kind of a chance to fix them, if there were any. Go ahead ask John. He has never said anything to the painter or myself.
The problem here is, YOU were NEVER involved in any of these transactions. You have heard all this information 2nd or 3rd hand. Now you are recklessly accusing me of all sorts of things that you know nothing about. My father always told me that there are 3 sides to every story. His side, My side, and the Truth.
I have never been in Lawsuit, so not sure what you mean there.
You must be the kid I bought a Van off of and I paid your price and now your mad? I bought a Charger off you're Dad Too in the Past. A brown 70 RTSE. So im the bad guy?
I'm the bad guy if I buy a car, fix it up and sell it for a Profit. I thought thats what America was based on. IT'S CALLED CAPITOLISM!!!!
John is a great guy. Did he tell you that I TOLD HIM of the same problems with the Transmission. He said since it came with the car (unrestored basketcase) that I should fix it for free. Same with the rear end. That's when I stopped working on his car. Did He tell you I had to threaten to put a lien on the car to get paid. Did he tell you I delivered it to a 3rd party so he could inspect the car before paying me. It's funny how you throw stones at me about John this saint of the Mopar Community and yet you know nothing of this car and the agreement we had. You know nothing about what really happened and how it all played out. Yet You judge me?
Bill sold me a car and I sold it for a profit. I must be a real jerk. How dare I.
I can prove my side of the story, I have pictures. I have 1st hand participation in all of these events. John's Car did not go the way I planned, yes. He stopped by my shop every 3 weeks to check on progress. He approved everything we did, every step of the way. He was the leader on this project. He instructed me to do things HIS way. He paid me as we finished each step and phase. When it came down to the last phase, I finished the car to his approval (with 2 witnesses that work with me) and then asked to get paid. His intentions from the beginning was to build this car to sell. He refused to pay me for the final phase and said that he would pay me when the car sold. I refused. He told me to pound sand. I then had to threaten him with a lien so he would pay me.
As to Bill, I bought a car from him that I really wanted. I wanted it for my Son. It was a 68 Dart. Nearly a YEAR later, 06 by the way, economy collapsing, I was hurting for money. A friend bought it from me. (still has it).
I met Black71 one time. I called him on the phone to buy an A100 van from him. He had it on Craigslist for sale. I called to come see it. Told him I was interested in it and was willing to pay his price. He called me back and told me that he changed his mind and was not going to sell the van. 2 weeks or 3 weeks later, the van shows up on Craigslist again for 1,000.00 more. I called again and said that I would like to come see it. He would not return my calls. So I had a friend call. We went to buy the van and his dad was there. I still have the van, building a Scooby Doo van like I said I was. Black71 has some kind of grudge for me and I don't know why. I met him 1 time when picking up the van. Never before and never after.
He is accusing my Superbird of being Fake. He has no 1st hand knowledge of anything that he is accusing me of. He has thrown all kinds of rocks at me and I don't know him.
Who's the bad guy here?
I am thankful for the people who have been kind.
