That is one sweet @ss ride man, mucho props. The paint turned out awsome, even my wife was drooling over it.

One thing though..... the difference in tire sidewall height of the front vs the back looks pretty blah not to mention it's driving me nuts when I look at it. What's up with that?

so i am the loser. not the guy who told his friend(the auto body specialist) he would pay him for services rendered and then screw him over when its all said and done. because that sounds like a loser to me. i dont know about u but that looks like alot more then $800 worth of work to me.

but what do i know im a loser.

Seen it in person. Work was well done, but I'm with stupids13 on this one. Pretty ****ed up, IMO.

To the owner:

If I had done the work, and I only got $800, your car would be sitting on jackstands. I understand Jamie doesn't want to mess up HIS work of art, but if I were him, the wheels would be sitting in my garage until I got another $4k in my bank account.

all the details r in the my posts.

what it comes down to is about 2yrs worth of work and all the body man has to show for it is literally pennies an hour(he sat here and figured it out one day) for at least $10,000 worth of work at shop. $4000 would have just covered the body and paint work and none of the other stuff done to the car, interior paint, engine bay or any of the conversions.

Oh, and for the record, I don't go talking **** to people for no reason at all.

I know I'm not an established member on here (yet), but check on any other site I've done business on (240sxforums, freshalloy, zilvia, 240atlanta, ga240sx, supraforums, etc.) and you will see that I am a straightforward businessman with a clean reputation and 100% satisfaction.

If that ain't enough, talk to Sean Bergstrom from Takara Motors, aka sean8564. He knows me well enough that he doesn't mind me dropping his name every so often.

EDIT:

As far as the story goes...ain't much more to it than what stupids13 said in his last post.

That being the case I want to offer my excuses to stupids13.

I just dont like when someone comes bashing other people without apparent reason or proof of something wrong.

Also, this could be a misunderstanding so I will wait for OP to answer.

Peace.
