Fantomworks....
Dan Short comes across as arrogant, and always makes me think... Snake Oil Salesman
I don't know him, I've never done business with him, and all this is, is an opinion formed from watching the show and reading various forum posts (both positive and negative) and an interesting legal opinion from a case taken against him regarding a donor car purchase :

Below is an excerpt from the appeal decision...

"Mr. Short advised the plaintiffs that the most economical way to find a replacement engine would be to purchase a “donor car” that contained a compatible engine with low mileage. Such a “donor car” could sometimes be purchased at auction at a low price and could provide many other replacement parts at much lower cost than parts purchased at retail. The plaintiffs testified, and the defendants denied, that Mr. Short told them that such a donor car could be purchased at auction for “a few thousand dollars” which they believed meant $2,000 to $3,000.

The defendants located a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (the Interceptor) for sale by Lieutenant Alexander Theiss, USN, whose home was just “a couple [of] blocks down the street” from the defendants' place of business. The car had been damaged in an accident but its engine and drivetrain were intact. Mr. Short considered the engine and drivetrain to be compatible with the plaintiffs' Thunderbird.

Lieutenant Theiss had advertised the Interceptor on the Internet for $2,000, but Mr. Short denied that he had ever seen the advertisement. Instead, Mr. Short testified that the Interceptor had come to his attention because someone gave him Lt. Theiss' telephone number. Lieutenant Theiss had placed a “for sale” sign in the Interceptor's window, containing his telephone number but not an asking price.

After some negotiations and a test drive, Mr. Short and Lt. Theiss agreed on a price of $6,000 for the Interceptor. On July 13, 2012, Mr. Short gave Lt. Theiss $4,000 in cash and Lt. Theiss gave him a handwritten bill of sale, reciting a $6,000 purchase price. They agreed that when the $2,000 balance was paid, the Interceptor would be delivered to Mr. Short. A few days later, Mr. Short gave Lt. Theiss a check for $2,000 and took possession of the Interceptor.

The Interceptor had been titled in Florida. A copy of the Florida certificate of title was introduced in evidence, showing a sale of the Interceptor from Alexander Charles Theiss to Dan Short on July 13, 2012 for a price of $6,000. Both parties signed the recorded transfer at the bottom of the certificate.1

Mr. Short had given the plaintiffs a written notice of the terms upon which the defendants conducted their business. One of these conditions was that a 25% markup would be charged for all required parts that were to be purchased for the work. The plaintiffs made no objection to these terms. After purchasing the Interceptor, Mr. Short gave Mr. Owens a list of anticipated costs for parts and labor to complete the contemplated work. It estimated a total cost to the plaintiffs as $38,093.48. The cost for the purchase of the Interceptor, including the markup, was stated as $7,200. The defendants later amended this item to $7,500. "

Footnote: "FOOTNOTE. A Craigslist server document showed that Mr. Short's email address was used to reply to the ad on July 13, 2012."


Some things just make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm..

my favorite show was "west coast choppers" with jesse james, talented and built cool bikes.

[Bill Howell]

I can't believe that in this day and time they "check brakes" by the full on slide to a stop, flat spot the tires method on every car..... Some of the hack work I have seen is horrible. They did a rebuild the other night, and talked about what an expensive build it was, the reveal happened and they had painted the factory wheels black and called that custom....... SMH

The more I have seen of FantomWorks, the less impressed I am with them. In fact I do not even watch them anymore.
