Hot Rods Model A Stuff

  1. Just thought Id share random pictures of Model A stuff I'm making. There's been a disturbed member on here not happy with me lately - not going to say his name but it rhymes with ledfootloon. So instead of wasting my time with him I thought I'd share some pictures with you nice people, just because.

    All parts are hand made by myself in my shop using vintage Pettingell Power hammers and traditional shaping machines such as pullmax and planishing hammer. Also if anyone has any questions on the process feel free to ask. I'm always out to help wherever I can.

    Body I've been working on- I just keep working my way back. The Pillars are all original. I'm going to chop it 4 inches and built the car with the lower roof line from the start instead of cutting it apart later.

    Great work, love those carb stacks. Do you make any quarter or lower cowl patches ? How about wheels wells ? I've got a 31 coupe in need of them. Looks like you're doing high quality work, more pics please!

    The 31 visors look so much better than the 28/29 are the interchangeable? Do you have a web site?

    Make sure you see what your getting in person. And if you not happy with what you get because he doesn't send you what he pictured you will eat the shipping and be told that your not smart enough to make them fit and call you car a pile of ****. I bought a par of cowl panels that he said made to bolt on the pics looked sweet I was totally excited to get them for a bargain. Said nothing wrong just cleaning out the shop. Well I got what you see they are far from done no bolt holes like the pictures showed. All I got was insults and after all that I wasn't going to spend another 25 dollars and my time to get my 50 back. All I wanted is what I seen in the pictures he played me as a fool. If anyone would like more pics of the panels let me know I will be happy to send more. He shows nice stuff but thats not what I got and he likes to be a jerk and at 37 it really grinds my gears being called names by a 23 year old kid.

    Looks like you make a nice product, Not the way i would promote my business by coming on here and trash talking and name calling a customer. As this thread will probably get deleted. I dont have a dog in this fight. Just an observation . I think i would of done whatever i could to make the customer happy. It wasnt like it was a lot of money. Word of mouth goes a long way. Good luck

    From reading both of your profile pages,,I think I'll stand with Leadfoot...All WC-Mshaping is just trying to use the HAMB for free advertising,,,Are your panels as incomplete as your profile page???

    I don't have a dog in this fight,but I wouldn't expect 1/2 price cowl replacement panels to be perfect but then again it sounds like a lack of civility in communication.

    Regardless, I was in business for over 50 years and learned early on to do everything in my power to rectify any problem where a customer was not satisfied. HRP
     
  23. Which is maybe why I offered him a refund, he just has more fun starting threads to bash people
     
  24. Feeding the Fire don't help your image at all. All small business take a hit now and then, that's just the way it is. Making this guy happy would have gone further than his coins in your pocket did.

    Well, this didn't end too well... Essentially went down the hole of internet trash talking and what not... I don't get involved with that stuff.

    Shame too as some of that work looks pretty damned nice.
