Guys I want to remain unbiased here as I have not purchased first hand from this guy.  I knew his dad for years and I do know him in passing but not well by any means.  I know his kids go to school in Mission and that his shop is off US83 in Mission.  Not sure of a home address.  I cant say as to his business dealings as I don't know but he does allot for the racers in town.  We have major IHRA strip and he has banners on the DARE cars and such.  Cant believe they would banner as a guy that has a bad rep?  After seeing this I drove by and he has 2 chargers sitting in the shop--the doors are open during business hours as it is warm here.  I wouldn't think reading the other stuff he would need to do business at another machine shop as he owns one, or at least his dad did for years.  I see him at times around town.  Has a red hemi cuda. probably a clone, but so is my 70 Runner.  If I can help here let me know as I live withing 3 miles of the shop.  Tommy Chavez

Not the friendliest bunch here then?  I am a car guy just like you.  I own a 70 Hemi Runner.  Its a clone but I love her.  Im just saying the guy has a shop.  Kinda look dumb others do saying there is not one when the doors are open and it is in plain view right?  Maybe he's a crook.  His dad was a class act I know that.  Just saw the blog and tried to be informative being it my first post or 1000th.

You won't find a friendlier place. Just have to think how do we know you? Trust is earned on the internet.
Just saying  :)

Actually there is a lot of great info and people on here - can't blame anyone for trying to protect a potential buyer / member from losing 5-10k plus :2cents:

I agree of course.  Money Is hard to get.  I just found it odd that the people were claiming the shop did not exist and its in plain sight.  Made me wonder a little.  I think a seller needs to be protected also if they are honest right?   Ive never bought there as I bought my car complete and thank goodness have not needed anything.  My wife lets me have one toy at a time.   :)

That's a good one.  If I was in need I would of course cash and carry one this close to me as would anyone.  Paying up front, not to anyone on the web.  I work too hard for my money.   :bigsmile:

Funny he pulled that AAR down for sale when everyone found out it wasn't his.

That and this guy needs some serious website help.

Caveat emptor!!!

This is a strange one for sure he's not acknowledging HP Cuda and Bullitt on his website. I love it. There's a guy on moparts that says he presently owns some of the Hemi parts he has for sale on his website.

I think it's obvious...HEMMITOMMY is the guy or a cohort.  Scammer or not seems extremely shady from my perspective.

Fans of NCIS understand what Jethro thinks about coincidences..

With 6 posts, not much to invest in here.

Scammers beware - you will be called out!!!
