This is why I decided to move the shop, more space , better equipment etc,etc.
Imports is not what put me on the map, but it has helped along with a combo of collision, and resto work, although I still specialize in Stangs, its a combo of all that makes it harmony.
I have read other post that you have made reguarding my business, and of course I'm going to get upset, one thing I've got is my word, my word was to finish your car correctly,and I was not given that chance, instead you talk **** about me and my business, beware this becarefull that, not cool.

All I'm saying kid is that you should have called me if you were that upset. You told me you would get me the car back, that you needed it to finish some other stuff, which was perfect cause I moved in July of 07, I figured you call me when you were done, and I would finish or redo the car at that point, I would have given you a rental if needed, but instead you go spend even more money , and bash my business.

I don't have enemies, and I stand by my work, you should have called it water under the bridge,and we would have got a fresh start with the car in my new facility.

I will call you, BTW, I think I remeber how to use a phone
I wish we can go back in time to make things right, I'd love for you to come by the shop now and see what I got going on, and if you really wanted to do the car over I would do it at no cost to you , and it wouldn't take 6 months.
A complete paint in the shop now avg cycle time is about 4 to 5 weeks

For what its worth I'm sorry for your bad experience , with me and the outcome of your car.
I started that shop from a whole in the wall, and have made it what it is now 2 years later producing over 150k in business a month.

Thanks for the offer and standing up to it.. The car is already done now you can see it here: https://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213571.

I did call you telling you I was upset.. Actually me calling the shop became a daily routine of once in the morning and once at the end of the day to see if any work was one.. After painting the car twice I honestly was done with your shop painter. I dont know who you had working for you but the new guy I met at the end sounded like a good guy.. the money spent to paint this car right was well worth it for me afterwards.. It took three weeks and another 3-days to wet sand. This shop does at least 2-3 full kits (Actually has a coupe in there right now getting a complete re-paint to Lexus White with a full kit) and around $8-10,000 a month on the parts I throw out. If you havnt noticed I'm a vendor on this forum.

I'm sorry our paths crossed at the wrong time and I've never bashed your other projects only the mess I put up with with my own.. But honestly dude your stuff was everywhere you were running circus at the time. I'm sure my car would've been different if I went there a year earlyer or afterwards but what happened happened.

Again I havn't shown you an ounce of disrespect.. Its fair for me to say what I said and I'm sure you had your fair share of remarks.

You should still come by the shop some time, If you are selling alot of body kits, you might want to display a kit in my show room, look at the pic's I posted of the front office / show room. I get alot of traffic in the new location, frontage is king. I'm right on Arrow Hwy between Citrus and Azusa Ave.

Big Rob the finish isnt one from DPE. There were different plans for these wheels (Eddie was suppose to paint them) they came in a flat.matt black.. looks better when they're cleaned.. the pix from the shoot was about 4 hours after we hit the canyons that night so the wheels were nasty as hell lol.. it looks like a matt black when clean ._. if you look closely you can see that the ducts on the TS front and the ducts ont he left and right side mirrors are brown from dirt lol
