IS MY MECHANIC ROBBING ME?

[mob]

Take a close look at my avatar. It's a four eye, but I think it may work the same.

did you use the mach1 for that?

Here it is:

Tried to upload it earlier, but lighting struck near my house and the brand new floppy drive I just bought blew up with the force of an H-bomb, shutting down the rest of my PC. I just got it back up and running.

I've seen quite a few mach 1 chin spoilers on four eyed cars. I doubt it could be made to fit an 87-93 GT without looking goofed up. The curves of the air dam are just too sharp.

i just read this thread and found it slightly amusing. that is all

my question is why in the hell after he put afr heads on your car, wouls he install a weak ass cam like the b303 with it. I can see using that cam for a gt40 setup or something less race type, buy why after the good money you spend on heads would you put that cam in. I dunno just me, and btw you did get a sour deal. talk to ur lawyer and try to work something out. good luck

hey i have a question for you, did you sign an estimate sheet? IN pennsy. if youre given an estimate, the shop is not allowed to legally go over that estimate without your consent. if they do they have to eat the charges. IM not sure of the laws where you live tho. worlth checking out.

 

[ill advised]

88blacklx, this is a pretty old thread. I'm curious to know how the car turned out but the guy is probably long gone.

The mechanic probably had him wacked to save his reputation.

Call me an A-hole if you want, but anyone who drops their car off at a shop and tells a mechanic to do whatever he wants either: a. has too much money or; b. has a screw loose.

9500 is about right. Thats why I do my own work. 5.0's are the easiest car to perform work. Hell the engine and trans takes about 2-3 hours to pull.

You my friend know nothing.. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to pull the engine and tranny at the same time..

LOL! This sounds just like my experience with the body shop that just "resto'd" my '90 GT. Take it, there was some rust discovered when the mouldings were removed, but I went from a $6000 estimate for body work and paint to $10,000 when the bill arrived. Take it, I can't finish the car this summer and get it on the road now, but it sure looks sweet sitting in my garage.

Why dont you Pm ram360 and ask how long it takes to pull the engine and tranny.. Ive had the motor out of my car and his car so many times it takes under 2 hours..

Hey man. I think your reading me the wrong way. Im not giving you crap. I think that is awesome that you can dissamble the whole thing in that amount of time. Thats amazing. It seems like it takes me one and a half hours just to remove the exhaust, driveshaft, fluids drained.

Wow Rs you sure seem to be the best at everything, getting pro paint jobs for cheap, taking out engines in world record times...cut people some slack sometime?

 

[LAZERREDGT]

WOW! I hope you are happy with the performance of your car after paying that amount of cash, it is hard to go thru every piece of parts he stated he used but try to account for everything. I'm sure glad I get my hands dirty when I need to do something to my car, all my scars on my knuckles have been well worth it!
