Thats a rather blanket statement. Also, shit happens. These are mechanical devices we work with. The way its handled when issues come up establish the true outcome of the job. The customer flying off the deep end knowing people would blindly swing right along isn’t fair to the shop either. No matter how much $ is spent, mistakes will happen, it MUST be accepted on both parties when that happens. But to answer your question. If I had the money and didnt want to build it myself different decisions would have been made along the lines. From a customer standpoint his explanation of how it went down, HE made a few mistakes along the way that DIRECTLY contributed to the “hacked up” results.

One example… the steering knuckle, bell housing grinding, 02 sensor placement, etc related to the poor fitting turbo manifold/turbo because it wasn’t a LHD car. It was told to the customer it didn’t fit right and would need work. Me knowing how to build this shit would ask specific questions: What doesn’t fit and why. What plans do you have to make it work? Things like that, that he didnt say were discussed. Its then MY/the customers responsibility to accept the facts and what needs to be done. Again, if it were my money/car I would say no send that shit back, or make me one that fits right. But he didn’t he was impatient and wanted it now.

All I am saying is the more vague the expectations are from a customer standpoint that are translated to the shop… the grey line gets much wider and project agreements are lost considerably.

He spent a quater of a million dollars on work. Shit shouldnt happen in this case. With the money that guy spent if i was the owner of that business and let stuff go like that i would be ashamed of myself. As benny said, this isnt an 89 fox with a 5.3 crammed in it with a monster huffer. They fucked him and they sang can a ***** get a table dance everytime they swiped his credit card. Maybe its just me but like i said, if i was spending or had a customer spending that cash there wouldnt be any shit happens at all.
