KJ, If they want to post my pics with a caveat saying " here is a car that was pull 2 weeks from completion" I'm cool with that. Did you see the body bushings? Did you see the homemade motor mounts? Did you see the rusty front support ( I guess that's what you call it)? What happened to metal goes back where metal was? That's a quote off of one of Bob's Ebay ads. They don't use it anymore!
 As far as TA goes, they have nothing to show.....not even dollar signs. Now more than ever I feel there is a need to keep the pressure on Bob. Especially through the end of this month. He has been on here reading the posts but has yet to comment.

Just for laughs - Here's a couple of old e-mails from our friend Bob.  I'll have the update for the AG this morning.

Here's part of a bulk e-mail he sent to all his current victims concerning George's horrible deceitfulness:
Because of the lies and deceitfulness of one customer, we will not release any car before I am finished and it is a complete restoration. For the many customers that had arrangements to take their vehicle early, with minutes of work left to be done, you can now see my stand on that. You can thank Mr. Payne.

This one was sent to me when I corrected him on why he wasn't early on the partial refund, he just wasn't late:
No, matter if you were the president the only way I ever refund on builds is a termination during the build which is your case and the the company's process on that was clearly stated at purchase within 60 business days is how’s that’s proceeds a former employee did that in half for you.So no It’s shouldn’t have been done any different then policy. BOB

You have to laugh or you'll scream.  This man is so corrupt.  Augh!!!

As to my story being on Joe's website - I've never asked.  I don't have a build going on, so I didn't think to ask for my story to be up there.  I have stated what he's done to me in one or two of the threads.

Damn TA, wonder why I did not get that bulk Email? I'm crushed!.

 Can you reveal what the AG's told you?

Nothing yet - I have to give her the update.  It's 17 pages so far with just the lies that Bob's sent me and everyone else.  Now I have to add my e-mails to him.  I'll send you the copy of the bulk one I copied from earlier.  Sorry, I thought that you had gotten it already.

If Flounder is willing, can you submit his e-mails/pics/story,etc to the AG to help your case?

I believe that she has Flounder's story and e-mails.  She has more than just our sob stories.

Well Flounder, it appears that you're going to keep uncovering more problems with your "almost complete" car. From the disassembly photos, it looks like anything that was visible was addressed but if something could hide a defect - such as the battery hiding the battery tray & core support - then it was overlooked. Every bolt you unturn, just continues to amaze me. How on earth did Bob miss all this in such a high quality build???

Keep your fingers crossed.  I just got off the phone with someone from WLOS.  They'd seen George's story too.

Well in bobs defense he did say he's fired the entire crew , and hopefully the new guys do better work . And I understand bob is overseeing all the work being done now for quality control ,so you have to give bob credit for trying to correct all the issues plaguing his shop .I'm beginning to think he's a stand up guy  (j/k)
