So next week will be 1 year since I pulled my car from Scotty's shop, (KAHIKO CUSTOMS & RESTORATION, Scott Burnett, 106H Roxbury Industrial, Charles City, VA 23030) and I am still missing parts Scott has still never found in his shop....
Though Scott has admitted he owes me money, and I have asked him to send what he said he owed me, I have never seen a single penny. I paid Scott $29,600 and traded him my 3.0 running motor ($7,500 value?) for work- not an insignificant amount. I have copies of the checks, pictures of the motor, an invoice from Scott showing work I was charged for, etc. I have avoided posting a lot of the pictures of the condition in which I found my car when I picked it up after Scott had it for 61 months, but I can. Trust me, Kent has now got over 350 hours into getting the chassis ready for paint. I am aware of two other member who experienced similar trouble with Scott and pulled their cars from his shop as well. When I first began dealings with Scott he seemed to be a solid dude who had done some great work in the past. However after he injured his back, maybe 1.5 years into my build, it seemed like everything changed dramatically and he never got back to what he may have once been. I want to post about my experience so anyone searching for a shop in the near future can make an informed decision regarding their shop selection. How would you go about that? Where would you post that- specifically, what other car forums should I alert, if any? Looking for helpful suggestions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

Scott - Your first words about the car - "Since there seems to be very little rust to deal with it will allow me to spend more time than usual on the body and paint work"
If you can find one unedited post, email or PM telling me "scabbed together P.O.S. that I told him from the start wasn't worth fixing, and he wanted to cheap out on" I will take back everything I said. Early on I posted- "I told Scott I don't want to do it if it needs major work. No long replacement, major panel work, ect. If it needs that, I'll put it away and buy a car that's already been redone". But, I was told by you they all have issues so we might as well fix what you have. If we even believe I didn't pay you for 2 years, what happened to the other 4? I know Michael and I aren't the first to have major issues and I'm sure we won't be the last. |
