What would you do or say if this happened to you? Back in October when I bought the 34 Ford Coupe I was having some trouble with my back for a couple of weeks. I had had two operations a couple of years ago and one on my neck last year. I wasn't feeling to well at the time and couldn't do the work under the car. Well rather than just drive the car I brought it to a so called street rod shop to have it checked out. I left the car there for 2 days on his lift. After the 2 days I returned to pick up the car and ordered from him a conversion kit for the rear brakes. I waited for 3 weeks for him to receive the parts which he did and I paid for. It was always "I can do it next week" this went on for 5 weeks. A friend of mine was in his shop last week but never let on he knew me. On one wall of his shop he has pictures of cars he said he built. To my friends surprise he saw pictures of my car on the wall, interior, front end and engine. He mentioned to the owner of the shop that he would like to build a car like mine without letting on he knew me. The owner sat him down and explained to my friend how he built my car and about what it would cost my friend to do it the same way. He told my friend it took 8 months to build because his customer was a real pain in the ass. I was really taken back considering I bought the car out of state. I decided to go to the shop and collect my money for the brakes he never did. Yes sir there they were on the wall like my friend said. The owner just said he takes pictures of cars he likes and puts them there to fill in the wall. Do ya think he was bullsh__in me or what? |
