That carb doesn't look near the way you described. It looks like a used carb. What I see is not necessarily corrosion but the results of additives in fuel. Lubes or any types of dyes that the fuel companies use will do this to a carb as shown. I think your only true complaint is that it is an 1150 carb and not a 1050.

I have a brand new Rupert 1250 and an APD 1150 that both have stains from the dyes from lube and the fuel scents. I have an older Rupert that looks about like that on the top. It's used, I expect it to happen when dealing with highly corrosive chemicals that the fuel companies are using in their product and years of use. It doesn't mean the carb is junk and definitely doesn't look like it sat in the bottom of a lake. The nice thing is a little carb or brake cleaner takes most of it off.
Let's see... It's Mike now, it was Orville, Wayne, Nonie44, Lou1320, nuttymnm, bad548nova and a deal on 67 mustang. I can't help but notice all these topics are how people have ripped you off. Starting to look like a trend here. There are people reading that have sent some PM's. They seem to notice the trend as well. At least you did give some positive feedback to the guys at Trick Chassis. That was a bad deal that worked it's self out. They build a quality car.

Well... they are reading. Your request is if I can post up the PM's. Guys... is it OK with you or do you want to post?
But the fact is, the logged posts that anyone can see with all those names above speak for themselves.

If your going to call me on the carpet for calling bad deals out on here--make sure you read the posts and get the details before you start throwing bullshit around. Is this forum for that purpose or not? Personally shawnp, I think your nothing but a big mouth punk.
