      I'm with SD455 on this.. I hate spending money and getting poor service..
      I try to support folks that uspport the hobby also.. but I had issues I handled both personally with PTFB and posted publicly due to no responses via phone or email.

      I bought his front suspension kit and had to call and get replacements of both tie rod connectors which were not threaded deep enough to allow me to tighten the tie rods.
      That was a hard to figure out problem...

      I had to wait a while to get those replaced.

      I also found that the ball joints he had sent were too long. This has been discussed..

      After trying to get a reply via phone and email, I simply went and bought Moogs at the parts store. They came with instructions and washers showing how you may have to use washers to make the ball joints fit. PTFBs had no such instruction. I then looked at my old kit instructions/notes from when I did my GTO 10 years ago and the MOOGS came with instructions.

      So since I had his upper BJ's installed... I went ahead and added the washers from the MOOG kit and using a Snap on Torque wrench set to the proper torque I very easily stripped the threads on his Upper Ball joint..

      After removing both his ball joints, now that I did not trust either of them... I installed the new MOOGS, first comparingthem (still have them) ..they did not they look like the Moog parts I bought. I'm fairly sure he advertised these were MOOG ball joints in his kits..

      I was less then impressed in his level of service. Businesses need to be able to deal with customers.. that's the deal. You pay for it, you should get what is promised, warranty and correct parts included. He may be a very nice guy. making great parts, but I have gotten better value elsewhere.
