"Ok Full Story" I was going to Take my car to Team Z I was talked out of it, I should have listen to what people were tell me about you guys Team Z and him.
So any way I took my car to him on 7-8-08 give him 3G cash to get started
Well time goes by and no progress on my car, on 9-01-08 there was still no progress done on my car..
So I felt it was safe to loan out some cash to someone that needed it plus I had invested some also..
so on 9-14-08 he calls me and tells me my car is done
Now mine you I am not working yet because I had took the GM buy out in April of 08
So I was like I should have my cash back soon and I will be able to square up with him in the mean time I have been giving him parts Turbo, Boost controller, waste gate and a little cash here and there just to keep the peace
Well on 9-24-08 he starts charging me a 50 dollar a day storage fee, time goes by I still don't have my cash
Even though I had cash sitting in the bank and and was not working yet I was going to play it safe and make sure my family had money instead of my car still here in my garage "I told him that too"
Well I finally have the cash to get my car I go there and I have racked up 4250.00 charges in storage, I was like ok this is crazy
Long story short

I paid 11152.00 between parts and cash for this POS cage
I have been told to take him to court
is it worth it ? most likely not
I rather just get the word out..

I am so pissed I may just sell this thing
I have a line on a 05 Body in white I may buy
 
Even if it was free it cost too much... Trying to get a reputable shop to even touch that without cutting it all out is gonna be a hard.

holy fuck!!
 
I have to be honest and say you are a jackass for asking a shop to do a build that you weren't ready to pay for.

That said, this cage is a complete and utter JOKE. I think I'd punch somebody in the face if they did that to my car.

The only thing you can do is cut it back out, and hope you can use some of the metal for the new one.

I'm gonna have to agree 100% with this statement. You don't ever want to pay in full up front, but make sure you have the cash to pay the job off. "ASSUMING" anything is what gets you in trouble. Always ASSUME the job will be done the next day and be ready to pay.

Lesson learned on this one I guess.

And now he is a sponsor so you really cant bash him on here. So why don't you go take your shitty thread elsewhere...




j/k of course..
 
And if you can't get any money back from the craftsman that completed that job then I would at least start handing out swift punches to the faces of those who suggested you go there.

There are enough reputable chassis builders in Michigan that this shouldn't even be a problem unless you are trying to squeeze a $1 from a penny.

The problem is, when you have a shop build you something, but then don't got pay for it right away, you are essentially stealing from them. There is such a thing as "the cost of money", and when they already paid for materials and paid their guys, and then you don't pay the bill on time, the shop is getting screwed. So for that reason, I think the $50/day is very justified.

But you could have avoided all of that by just showing up and telling them to tear out that abortion of a cage and do it properly.
 
Your shit sat there for almost 90 days unpaid! Thats pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Did you even see the car after it was done? Look at the work completed?

Its not about the cash really just the Shit job they did on my Cage

Thats not a really good way of looking at this. This whole thread is about money. Money paid, money OWED, added storage fees, parts for money.

And a cage that is probably barely worth its weight in scrap metal if you cut it out and took it in yourself.
