Same chit he told my Dad for 15 years, "Your car is next, but we have to move this car out". My Dad should have put his foot down, the guy used my Dad for free labor and his machining knowledge. Dad should have refused anymore help till his car was done.


Was told 3 months ago, the Jag would be done in ~3 weeks. Well the guy got "fired" from his 35 year job with a company. Said he got tied up in the "me-too" movement. :rolleyes"

So now he has to do "paying" jobs until retirement checks start rolling in in 2 years.

He did say if Tim and I came out there one evening a week, he would help us do work.

I was so close to punching him in his "me too" nuts.

Oh, and forgot to add.... this guy is REALLY good at what he does and doesn't do fly by night work.

John Brown is a pre-eminet restorer of old Mustangs. He restored the #2 Shelby GT350 and won 1st place at major Concours throughout the USA including 1st place at Amelia Island. The Mustang he rebuilt is estimated to be worth $1.3 million. He just joined our club, the Oklahoma Mustang Club and was on hand to let us get a first look at his new 2016 GT350R.

He also restored this historic gem:

So he's good at what he does but he's a liar and can't be trusted to keep his word. I'd rather do average work and be known for keeping my word and promises.

Looks like someone's over decorated house.

Ah. Wasn't trying to rip on you, as I know you inherited the mess. I do hope that you're able to get that beautiful car back together and enjoy it.
