How about jumping in my thread and helping me out since your Dad seems to be " to busy " at the moment. Funny how he can make you flanges, yet he can't pick up a phone, or type an email even to let me know whats going on.

Yeah dont deal with the only person to get out of the game that actually made sure everyone got their stuff or their money and didnt run and hide.

I did some stupid things, I am building stuff now but not taking orders. I am building what I want when I want and putting it up for sale when it is done, as you can see I have a good paying day job and I am just giving people a nice option to all the other products out there

No what I did was not right and I am sorry but I did the best I could to take care of things (3% paypal fee is only portion that wasnt refunded, if you still want to cry about that send me your paypal address and I will send that over to you....)

I guess I could have just disapeered from the world like all other companies and ran with the money and parts, but wait thats not me I faced my problems and took care of them...

I'm sorry I don't ball enough to drop 15k pay back in a week, it took just a hair over a month to pay everyone back....

If you think he is trying to steal your money come out and say it, he has always gotten his parts out, although late on many occasions (I told him 2 weeks ago I needed the flanges for the manifold I just put up yesterday and a topmount I am finishing tomorrow and just got final flanges for topmount today...) These are his normal batch flanges also, not special flanges with logos but the flanges that he runs 50 of at a time....

he is supplying over 20 companies like you with special flanges and every one is different and requires different setups. I am sorry he is not telling you this himself, he is in bed asleep right now from working since 5 this morning to 10 at night

I could care less about excuses, last week you made it seem like he was not working at all. Either send me my parts, or refund my money. At this point I would more like a refund then anything.

Yep, sad thing is I never learned and kept ordering from the guy. Other companies to check out for flanges

http://www.straightlinespecialties.com

Or
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2073179

Great guys to deal with at both those companies.

I believe he still owes me an item I bought with a b16 head, don't remember what it was but he did the same thing. This was two years ago.
