The mods over there kept confusing me. There was 11 pages. I refreshed and there was 8. After refreshing several times later to keep checking on updates there was eventually 7 pages.
Looks like they don't like people to start side topics.

They split threads a lot of it goes off topic.

I had a guy get me one time on a 67 camaro took him to small claims court...he never showed and then moved ...could have filed for contempt and then they would have took his possesion and sold them for what he owed me but ...really wasnt worth it to me for the anger/ stress it caused me in the long run sometimes these are learning experiances and just that .... the fact the castings where grinded would have been enough ...but sometimes these things will be worse on you then the person he took from you...itl eat you up if you let it ...sorry to hear that Scott ...

IMO if you don't go after the person and MAKE them pay for what they did, they'll never even think about stopping. They'll just know they can get away with it and do it to someone else.

sorry for cleaning up the thread, i figure on something like that you want to stay on topic. I live in Waco and know the shop owner and he seemed like a cool guy. a lot of fbody guys get their stuff worked on there and like him. Looks like he was taking advantage of a guy who didn't know the difference. unfortunately for the shop owner there are truck enthusiasts in this area with rcsb 6.0's and ecsb 6.0's and SS's that can compare times and casting numbers. The shop has recently moved because it couldn't afford rent elsewhere, if this turns out to be true i will get with the fbody club owners and disclose all known information from this incident.
