Topic: Build a Bandit

[brian c]

Day's not over yet. They may be on a long trip back with their respective cars. Let's let this ride out a little longer to see if Bobbo delivered on his word or if there were yet more delays.

**I checked the website they setup and it doesn't appear that there was any word - either way - that they got cars today.

[RainMan]

the day has almost gone, and no word on Joe, Jay, or Eli's cars....I guess they are all riding around in them, doing high fives, and smiling at the great deal they got from Bob...WOW, I guess I was wrong about Bob this whole time....lol....not!

Well I'm concerned the Mayan calendar is going to run out before they get there cars 

[Flounder55]

Got an Email from Joe. Their cars are not done. They got to hear Jay's car run. They are going to start  making weekly trips to banditland to check on Bob's progress.

LOL..I am sure that is the solution!!

Is Bob paying for all these trips and all their time off?  This is ridiculous!  There is no reason a businessman should have to be babysat to do a job he was paid to start over a year ago. How is this not criminal when you couple it with his other 30 plus victims he's doing nothing for???  It's obvious that he can't or won't follow through on his commitments. There needs to be a serious overhaul of our legal system that allows such a lowlife criminal to keep going.

I finally spoke with one of his employees yesterday and was told they hadn't been paid in weeks.  This employee doesn't feel they work for him anymore.  I hope they'll share what they know with the NC AG, FBI, IRS, DMV, or police that are all watching him.  Maybe that will help stop him from swindling more people.

Well Joe did not go this time, Just Eli and Jay. I've exchanged several Emails with Joe but he is adament about the choices they are making.
  Those that do not remember history are condemned to repeat it!

So, let me get this straight...

1. Bingo Bob managed to miss yet another deadline.
2. Employees aren't being paid for the work they are doing.
3. Since Bingo Bob missed his deadline, he's causing the current "customers" to spend their own time, money, gas, tolls(?), etc to check on his progress so they get their cars.

So he's basically making them pay MORE for a car they already paid for. Yep, that's a bargain in my book. And I wager if the unpaid wages are true, the employees probably won't be there for too much longer.

Its Bob logic at its best, and if the fish are biting, reel them in!!!

And do you want to know the kicker to all that? Mr.Smith ( Eli) is calling Carol ( TA Widow) and myself " unprofessional" in our actions and comments on the Facebook page.
 I invite everybody to go to Build a Bandit and read the jerks remarks. This guy is smug, arrogant,self absorbed and condescending while covering himself in "professionalism".
 This would be the guy that Bob should pour the gas on!

AND...whats the quality level of work from an employee that has not been paid in weeks?

[brian c]

Just have to see the humor in this...

So in (3) weeks time, they've managed to remove the hose clamp from the upper radiator hose?? And what's with the extra radiator clamp in the middle of the hose? I thought these were all new parts from Advanced Auto (and the like)?

**BTW: These were pulled right off the Build-a-bandit website for Joe's build.

Brian,

  not only that, but notice the olds 403 fan shroud, 301 turbo evaporator (hows that going to connect to the receiver drier? as turbo cars had a remote receiver drier.)  foil radiator cap is nice, the fuel line running into the ebelbrock carb will not clear a correct shaker base...and the sad part is, that since flounder showed off Bobs shoddy work, this is Bobs best work...but at least Eli Smith did get a correct BW super T10, wonder if Joe did??

[brian c]

You catch the used distributor sitting on the cowl?

Again, flies in the face of "all new parts"...

or the cast iron intake painted silver to make it look like its aluminum, and why would you paint the thermostat housing that was actually aluminum blue?? well at least he did repaint the dash Tan...bet the windshield was not removed, so I am sure it left a "nice" edge. But, at least the cars are getting worked on...

Bob has a new name on Ebay. 65classicrods.

he has a 65 chevelle,73 ta, and a 65-66 hertz Mustang up for auction
