Just a heads up. They have had my 1988 GT for five months now. I keep getting excuses and down right lies about why it hasn't been fixed. It took them three months to figure out what was wrong. A rod bearing. These guys are slow.

I would have taken the car back after week 2. Do a search and you will find tons of horror stories on the net that started just like this one. I know of at least one where the guy never saw his car again because the shop parted out his cobra and then claimed it was stolen.

Man.. I've been to their shop a time or two just to get a feel for the people there. They always seemed to have way too many people just standing around and talking to everyone while there was a few out in the shop actually working. They have some of the lowest prices though and that's why they keep getting business. I have not had any work done by them so I cannot say one way or another, I just have what I viewed when I was there.

Hey. I got a call!

The owner/engine builder called today and actually give me an update so progress is being made. At least as far as the engine. But seeing my car in the same spot for five months. And I've owned the car less than six months. You can imagine how I feel.

Wow, yeah, I'd be extremely upset.
