From Joe's Video he posted today, I would say there is a lot left to do. Dash and guages are out, no driver's seat, no radiator or evaporator, no t top trim pieces, no trunk lid. There appears to be a lot left to do and then once they fire it up they need to adjust and tune it. And that's just what we can see from your video.

I'm curious as to why the metal dash in the first video is still black instead of the correct camel tan? I mean seriously, it's a very quick fix but instead Bob the bandit went ahead and installed the glass??? WTH???

And the ripples in the rear bumper, along the side of the car, etc...man, what a...you fill in the blank. That would drive me absolutely nuts. And its not all that difficult to fix!

Has anyone heard from Bob the loser in a while?  Is he gone for another family emergency?  His family must be huge to be gone so often for so long.  For the people that have been waiting more than a year or two for him to produce anything at all - do all his "emergencies" coincide with right after his ads run?  I guess he would have an emergency.  He has to hide more money. 

I hope people are saving his e-mails and forwarding them to the NC AG's office or the ic3.gov site so they can piece everything together.

148 days and nothing from him or anyone in his shop.

Bob's been quiet,no mass Emails, no Ebay ads that I know of.
    I know Bob did not meet Joe and Eli on the 26th to look at their cars which are not done. If you look at both videos that Jupiter posted? One car has a trans Am console the other has a Camaro console. I can't take credit for knowing that, my builder told me that after looking at the videos on facebook.

I'm wagering Bob's going to string them along for a couple more months easily. Seems to be his M.O. given how long this has strung out for others.

My favorite part ( in case you missed it) in the video of the tan interior car, was the used carpet with all of the burn marks it in, where the seat would go.

My favorite part is what you DON"T see. Bob would NOT let joe take pictures of Jay's car or Craig Ventzke's car. Wonder why? He claims that he had mix-ups in the past and wanted to prevent that in the future (yeah).

 Joe also says Bob has a lawyer but that lawyer will not respond to my lawyer's queries so what kind of lawyer can he be?

 in a little over 2 weeks Joe ,Eli and Jay will be visiting again. So I'm curious what Bob can do in the interim.

Are you suggesting that Bob is lying, George?  Surely he has a lawyer.  I've been waiting to speak at him for months.  Ask for a name, maybe he'll name another victim like he named Joe as my mediator.

Bob refuses to speak with me and blames his lawyer 100% of the time now.  What a coward.  I don't think I've ever hated anyone quite so much as him and his disgusting family that supports him.

TAWIDOW, I know it's so difficult at times but NEVER fill your heart with hatred.  Doing so just lets your enemies dig in even farther.  Don't let let them get away with this.
