Antonio, don't even say that. Because as you know, when things get really desperate, these ppl (who you are trying to help out) will use that against you. Especially if you didn't fulfill "at least most of what they think what you should've done for them".

Antonio don't take this fall for him seriously we've all taken falls for him and don't fix the things he has mess up. And I doubt you and mike can fix all the things happened to me. Hearing that my mr2 is just a shell is really disheartening now I am not even sure my tool box is still in one piece(the black snap on memole can I'd it) not to mention my other 2 wheels supposely still on display and my money

This is proof that not everyone at the shop is bad, and nobody ever claimed it to be that way. All the problems stem back to your boss. You guys are good at what you do and will have no problem in finding a legitimate business where you can do what you love and not have to worry about all the bad press...while your "boss" might go back to selling dog food like before . I wish you guys the best of luck.

FYI there have been many "legit" crews who have all gotten screwed... majority have posted in this very thread, so I don't know what you mean by that statement.

most of you are making assumptions based on other peoples experiences. there are a few that have personal dealings that went bad and thats fine for your outlook.

you guys arn't going to sway my opinion regardless of the links and stories you post up. i'm a loyal employee and builder so my boss and my customers will depend on me until i do what i gave my word to do. i also gave my word to ian to help at least finish up.

as for the "waiting around and hoping train...." well, i'm sure my customers wouldn't appreciate if i said, whats best for me is to get another job. so i have to go through a little stress and financial struggle, thats fine with me. this won't be the first time.

you guys act like i don't know i can work for another company. i just don't want to, i have all the inventory i need, tools, facility and people to back me. for a couple projects that should only take a week or two, it would be a nightmare trying to setup somewhere else. i would for sure not make any money if i did that.

thanks for all the praise and the compliments. i appreciate that you guys respect my work, however if you respect me, then you'll respect my decision to take care of what i have to. now if it seems stupid for me to stay and help, well, don't worry about it, its not you. i'm fully aware of all the scenarios that can come out of this including the one where i get paid, finish my cars and help ian with what he needs.

thanks antonio for posting up.

joe, i'll let you know soon as i can. hopefully it will be today or tomarrow.

how much does he pay you to be oblivious?
