Yet another 1967 Camaro build thread.

I almost didn't recognize it without all that stuff around it! Good thing that guy finally got the Scout out of your way!

Yeah - I thought that Scout was never going to leave.

Now, if I can just get my steering rack in, we can reunite this Camaro and that Scout at your shop where they will both be in your capable hands!

[gardnerme]

no pressure on you, doesn't have to be painted to be driving

Get 'im, Sparky! But the completion list is much longer than "paint."

[SparkyRnD]

well, without a scout to work on now, you should have AMPLE time to work on your one project car!

Wow - that sounds great (on paper)!

[gardnerme]

BTW, Sparky - Thanks again for the beautiful radiator for this project! I am still amazed at the quality of your work and the price point that you are selling them for. I think one of your catch cans and some of your valve covers may be in my future sometime soon!

Yeah, a few body mods, lots of block sanding, then full reassembly...cant wait!

[SparkyRnD]

As long as it's after Sabre, I'm all sorts of happy! ;-P

[gardnerme]

At least all of the rust, oil, and grime are gone!

You just don't know how much more pleasant it is to work on a CLEAN project...no dirt, mud, rust, rodent droppings, etc. !

I didn't promise anything about droppings.

Nice car. I went through the same sheetmetal drama as you, damn that media blasting. It's nice to know what's under the pretty paint job when you're done.

Thanks, Karl. My plan (and hope) is never to sell this one (I would like to eventaully pass it along to my son) so I am taking the time now to get done right what I can.

[SparkyRnD]

so did you get the steering shaft for it?

[gardnerme]

Heck, no. Lots of emails and phone calls made. No response. I guess my piddly $1100 spent isn't enough to warrant a status update. Wondering about starting to show up in other threads asking about status to see if it causes any kind of reaction, but I am sure that the people with much higher post counts than mine will just show up in his defense and accuse me of improper activity.

[SparkyRnD]

That's a shame, as he gets recommended quite a bit here. Didn't you also have the same delivery problems from the same vendor in the past?

[gardnerme]

If I ever talk about ordering from him again, I hereby give you permission to shoot me.

[SparkyRnD]

You got it. If you paid with a credit card, you also have the option of cancelling the order and getting your money back (as long as it hasn't been more than 60 days).

Sure did - my Moser axle seemed to take while to get here, but that was a custom build ( not off the shelf). The level of communication was bad then, too, though. My brake package order showed up wrong the first time, but he was great about fixing it. Now I remember why I had quit ordering through him.

[gardnerme]

Yes - paid with cc, but I already paid the bill (to avoid interest charges) which could make the charge more fun to dispute.

[SparkyRnD]

As long as the payment is less than 60 days ago, it doesn't matter if you already paid the bill or not. If you dispute the charges for product not received, they will remove the money from his account immediately, then the burden is on him to prove that the product was already shipped out before the dispute.
