Hey Guys, thought I'd kind of put all this behind me. Yes, to set the record straight, I did receive my car from Tootees..........but it took a court case, 10000.00 in legal bills, and help from a couple fellow racers in the USA. What I received for my 26000.00 is a joke. It is basically a partially finished rail dragster. It came home with the wheels I paid for, old mockup rear tires, new front tires, and the steering installed. It has a partially finished rearend housing, with floater axles installed, but the center section and actual axles are not there. I also received a set of brake calipers and the master cylinder was installed. There is a partially finished aluminum seat also. When after repeated trips to SC to get the car, or try to get it finished, I came away with what amounts to about 10000.00 in parts and services. I have had to have the car finished by a local builder, and this has cost another 10000.00 to get it finished. I have legal paperwork from these "business" people that states they owe me an additional $5000.00 for parts and services that were paid for, but I have never received them or the money. This was a letter signed in front of the Sherriff. I have tried to call and make arrangements to get my money or parts, but they will not answer my calls. I guess call display is a good/bad thing. I don't have a problem to post a copy of the contract if anyone wants to see it. The place I screwed up in dealing with this business is I never got a "Finished Date" on the contract, so if they wanted to take 50 years to do it, as it's a one-off car, they are legally able to do this.
In my honest opinion, anyone who does business with them, are asking for trouble. I guess I learned the hard way, but I also learned a lot, and it'll be a long time before anyone gets my hard earned money again. I would like to thank deckwench for the help in this situation, because without him, I would still not have my "CAR" out of these guys.

Please "BUYER BEWARE"
If bluearc wants to discuss this, they have my number and I would appreciate a call to talk, but I would really like my money instead. Tootee and Jerre, you can say what you like to defend yourselves on here, but you know what happened, and I personnally cannot believe you would go on here and tell mistruths like this. When you say we should hear both sides, ensure you're telling the truth.
