I just answered some questions for Nick on our facebook page, he usually takes my advice, he is trying harder. I start answering E-mail from 6 in the morning until 10 pm 6 days a week. I do this because I enjoy helping people. Rich.

You are more than welcome to help me and send me a headliner for a 66 coupe!  :thu

I can see it now...Ta Ta's for headliner work.

While waiting for that to happen, maybe someone can help Nick get the white tent wonder up and running.  He is apparently still discovering disconnected wires, etc.  Still no fireup.

And how much does he want for that?

Well, maybe that was a little harsh and I didn' t know about what he did with Dave's car but I still don't like beating on a guy.  Rich.

Looks like to me the only reason you don't like beating on this guy is because he is a customer. In a few of your other posts I read you did not mind beating on people.

Don't know the guy personally so don't care to beat on him much.  However, if a friend of mine were looking into one of his cars that I knew he had used a bunch of  :gs in I'd sure as hell tell them to run not walk the other way.  I got a laugh on a Firebird forum a while back...someone had bought a car and then realized the previous owner had hidden some serious floor issues with  :gs and I almost asked him where he lived and the name of the guy that sold him the car.

I think if he is using subpar building practices on these cars and building them for a profit it is in a way the duty of the Mustang community at large to warn where possible.

The only other thing that I know is that if I were Dave and he had used a picture of my car I'd be sending Kev a pm to ask about options for legal action or as an alternative just going to his house and kicking his a**.

Hmmm, the link goes to nothing. Looking at the most recent updates on his blog...





"The Hedman Headers were a bit to close to the spark plug boots so the header had to be removed and dented in the area of the spark plugs. Since it was already removed it was best to go ahead and wrap the header in heart wrap fiberglass. Its back on now and shouldn't cause any more problems and would keep the engine bay a bit cooler"


Seriously? 135K and you have to remove the beat up and wrapped headers to replace the plugs?

If I added  :gs and beat the car up with a hammer, could I sell my 66 for $100K?[1]

I feel like the criticism should be pointed at the people who are not smart enough to research the car they are buying from this guy and paying a premium price for a less than quality build.

So it's OK to build a sub-par vehicle/product since there are people with more money than brains?

Those are the Hedman headers I got to chop up for my build - I bought them becuase I figured chopping a $125 header wasn't going to hurt to bad if I fooked it up. $125 header on a $125k car? I gotta finish my build so I can pay off the last 6 years of my mortgage!

I think it comes down to the builders sense of ethics in that case.

Does the builder live so far under a rock and have such a thick skull that he has not seen any criticism on his builds and truly thinks he is building a 'well-built' car? Or is he purposely cutting corners on his build to maximize his profit?

If the later is what this builder is doing and he can sleep at night knowing he sold a sub par product, he certainly needs a reality check.   :char


Certainly there are business out there that rely on people's stupidity (this guy) to make money which is terrible, but in regards to purchasing a 115k car some due diligence on the buyers behalf I think is necessary and could avoid potential buyers of his cars a lot of headache in the coming years.

Chances are, the cars he sells will be parked for a couple years, then sold and repeated until someone discovers the bad areas and is burnt.

Things have been pointed out numerous times but the crap still gets put on the cars he does. There is, or has been so much on his builds that I am surprised he can still find someone to buy. True to the saying a fool is born everyday.......
