"WARNING WILL ROBINSON... DANGER...DANGER...DANGER...WARNING WILL ROBINSON"


...all I can say is PLEASE do your research about him and his business BEFORE you send a car or $$$...there is a long sordid story behind him and his operations about stripped cars, unfinished cars, missing money, etc...there is a really good reason his name can't even be used on the Viper Forums

BEWARE...BEWARE...BEWARE...BEWARE...BEWARE...BEWARE...BEWARE...BEWARE...BEWARE

RUUUUUUNNNNNN away FAST!  Buyer beware.

I have NEVER seen someone as bad as this guy when it comes to ripping people off.  I know of several guys that sent their vipers to him and never seen them again.  I'm not joking... he parted them out and they are now gone!  He has more litigation against him than a team of lawyers can handle.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

I don't know him or his work, but I've been a facebook friend with him for about a year now.I think he is on here but not 100% sure? He seems to do good work? Something to investigate maybe? :dunno:
Tried to post a link but I can't for some reason? But on facebook his name is Dynosteve Leerentveld

If it was me....I'd enjoy the challenge of doing it myself?

...do it yourself, have your dog do it, anything but sending money and a car to him
...I know Woodhouse Chrysler in Blair Ne. is doing mods, probably many other dealers are too

PS...if your dog screws it up, at least you won't need an attorney, just have the dog put down

It's hard to believe that in this day and age that John is still able to do business and people actual think about doing business with him.  Do a google search for "John Hennessey" and you'll see that google tries to auto fill words like "Scam", "Crook" and things like that after his name.  That's pretty bad!   :screwy:

ok i spent about 8k so far got the brakes done the supercharger and wheels whitch you can uses any kind i picked foose as they are not part of the packadge hennessey wants 3600 for them they are ccw rims and they sell them for 2600 go figuer right.a hennessey dealer around hear told me for 12k he could do the rest and have the car cert and numberd and then it would be an hpe 600 sounds great,but i do notice all the hpe-600 cars are differnt some have turbo and some suppercharged.
