Thanks for the heads up. I'd be a mad mother too if i got screwed for that much.By the way did he not deliver your part or send you a bad check or what?I always deal in money orders only and if someone cant ,i dont do business with them...

i would like to see only alliance members able to buy and sell parts. that way if you have 50.00 invested up front in the alliance membership you might think twice before flaking on a deal.you can send a guy a money order but that does you no good if he doest not send parts back.

This really sucks, I buy a lot of stuff on here, so I really hate to hear about anyone getting burned. I'm not sticking up for this guy cause I don't know what all happened here, but I have done buissness with him and not had a problem. Gary

i dont know what your dealings with him were but this guy has been pretty straight with me and if you read up on the people he has done buisness with in the past they will say the same sorry about your deal bro better to confront him than to shit on his name like that in public for all to see straight up


and these are the words of a WOOD

Good guys, are good guys. Being an Alliance Member doesn't make you any better than someone else. I have been one before, just because I'm not now, doesn't mean a thing.

Postal money orders, if you don't receive merchandise the post office will recoup the money, or legal action...Best way to do business with someone you don't know personally...

Now, who all has outstanding deals with chopped50ford?

[Tony]

Still waiting on a panel i bought from him back in late Oct..
Paid with postal money order and still have the receipt..
Pm'd him and emailed multiple time's with only one response...
Telling me my item HAD been shipped on Dec 17th (sent via blackberry T-mobil)...
Never got the panel, or another word from him..

Not bad mouthing anyone, i think he's proven more than once the type of business man he is..Nothing else need's to be said.

Does anyone know him personally or have his number or something to find out what the deal is? It can't be too hard to at least find out if he's still on the face of the earth. Any word is better than no word.

I was thinking the same thing..Seem's a lot of you fella's might know him personally.. If so, see what give's..
If he's as "stand up" as some of you say, then he'll just stand up and take care of this, simple.

[Ryan]

Chris, do you have a deal in progress with him right now? I don't want this post cluttered by people not involved...

I heard from him via email on the 10th... This is what I got:

Shoot. That is the last thing I want. I have been out sick for the past few weeks, and this is the first time I have had a chance to make it back to work. With work behind, the holidays and such; which basically I did without, I have not had a chance to even look in any other directions. In fact, the opportunity to get the chance to enter my roadster in GNRS is unachievable at this point. Haven't touched the car in 3 to 4 weeks. A huge dissapointment on my part. Ill check this evening for all my outstanding "orders". My wife was helping me and thought it was all completed. Can you post something quickly to indicate my situation. I'm not in the business to rip people, I think everyone I know on the board could confirm that. just bad timing in the past few months with the illness and family passing in late november. Thanks if you do that for me.
