Should I be worried??????

[Shelly1]

Ok for those of you who have seen my Mustang rebuild thread........ I am a little concerned. The guy who is rebuilding the car is a great and honest guy. He is a member of my Mustang club and all. He has done a GREAT job on my car so far. Anyway, here is my issue. He really hasn't been doing anything to it for about a month. Every Friday, he would send me updated pictures of what he has done and for those of you who have followed my thread, you know it was/is almost complete. He even turned it over and everything was fine. So now let's go back to the beginning of June. I had not heard from him in a couple of weeks, and I was getting ready to leave for a weeks vacation. I had some parts for him, (new headlights, battery and fan shroud) so I called him. He always answers when I call. This time he didn't and I left him a message. He didn't call back and it was getting late and I was leaving in the morning. I called again. He didn't answer so I left another message. Then I get a text message from him saying he was in the area and wanted to swing by and get the parts. I told him that was fine and he stopped by. He acted like normal. I get back from vacation and two weeks go by and I have not heard anything from him, so I send him an email. He tells me he is really sorry, but he has been really busy at work, he was watching his gf's house while she was on vacation, etc. That has been two weeks ago and I still have not heard anything..................Should I be worried?

I think you'll be alright Shelly. A little down-time should be expected because things pop up out of nowhere. I mean, he's already dumped a ton of time into it, and he has been progressing very fast, so I wouldn't be worried yet.

What exactly are you worried about?

[Shelly1]

I am not sure what I am worried about. He was VERY responsive at first and now I really haven't heard anything from him. I have not seen the car in person since he picked it up over 4 months ago. It has only been in pictures. I guess I am worried that something went wrong with it and he is afraid to tell me. Getting the text from him was very weird, because he had never communicated like that with me before.

I wouldn't be too worried at this point. With rebuilds, stuff like this is gonna happen. Just give him a shout, and ask him when he thinks that stuff will get installed by, and just go from there. If it continues too much longer, then I would start saying something to him.

I'd go see the car to clear your nerves.

That is a good idea. I do need to pick up the front two wheels to have new tires installed. They never popped, melted or lost air, but the fact that I had to pry the melted rain guard off the tire on the driver's side makes me think I shouldn't drive on it.

As someone who got ****ed over royally in a similar situation, I say yes, be worried as ****ing hell. But thats just me.

Ok, I called him and had to leave him another message. I just told him I wanted to get the rims so I could get new tires. The car is NOT at his house, it is at another members parent's garage. I know where it is, I have just never been there.

At this point, he has not given me a real update on the car since the middle of May.
