I really want to keep this as straight forward and civil as possible. But since my last post there obviously are a few things I will address.
1. I am not a troll for Bob. George and I have spoken many times, he knows me by now and can vouch for me I am sure.
2. I am not "promoting" Bob. Those are your words, not mine. No where do you see me saying anything close to promoting his business. I am only reporting my build and showing what I am doing on the sites I built. I am truly excited to finally get a Trans Am that I have wanted for years. Thats all.
What is going on here is people are taken back by me and others that are "working" with Bob vs the "lets put him out of business" way of thinking. Like I said in the post yesterday. I picked a different way of getting my car from Bob. Maybe my way is best, maybe not. Time will tell. I hope to have the car soon, and you will know all about it here. George and I have spoken that we can not save the world..nor can I, George or TAWIDOW be responsible for Bobs actions, namely if he gives George or anyone money back, he has to rip someone else off.. we have no control over that..TAWIDOW deserves her money back, just the same as I deserve my car and so on..
Now back to the car itself.
Here are the photos on an album I use. These are pics I took. It was a tight area and way too much sun light that day causing shadows etc. But here they are.
https://picasaweb.google.com/101726205057946612608/GodarBuildTASept142012#Bob was the first one to point out to me about the front dash being half black and the back trim by the rear speaker deck being an off color. Those are both on the list to be corrected. I hope that happens. The sterring wheel is temporary, not the one I want. just fyi..
I accepted it to be a 1980 by VIN and for him to clone the 79 SE I wanted. When he resurfaced he told me he had this 1980 and it would be the fastest car he could finish for me, so I said OK. No one wants to be thru this any more than me!
Also Bob does not promote an OFF frame restore. As posted here too.. that is not correct.
We, John, Eli and myself are not accepting sub par cars. It is not going like that at all. I will accept and use and appreciate any feedback here to help make this by the best car I can get from Bob.
Maybe I am too optimistic, but I prefer to work with people thru problems and tough times. I was not happy about many things too. But I am just doing the best I can with the cards I am dealt. I was the one that paid Bob up front for the car. I put myself in that situation. No one else. So I accept that and am moving forward to get this over. This car is titled in my name and I have insured it and done everything possible to protect myself.
There are blemishes I found in the paint that does not show up in the pictures. But I am told they will be addressed as the car is finished. Bob is 100% aware of my web presence and he knows this will be a highly photographed and videoed car. So if that helps me to get a really good car, I am happy about it..
He has delivered some cars recently and he simply does not take pics or promote his own builds.. just not his cup of tea. I have spoken to some of these folks and they are very happy with the cars.. they just go under the radar and are not online here or anywhere for that matter.
So let me know what you see on the car.. I am all ears... really!!
Thanks in advance!
Joe
