I can only speak from my experience, & have no clue what Dan has going on right now, or what's going on with these situations.
Dan built my long block 302 for me. He was always professional, did the job right, did it under budget & even quicker than he originally stated. He even offered to deliver the motor for free all the way from Discovery Bay to Sacramento. I declined because I knew that would cost him a lot in gas & he was already building my long block for next to nothing. Also he helped me find my cam & picked it up for me from the Bay Area for free. He gave me his price on all parts needed for the build & offered me his price on anything else I would ever need going forward. He also gave me a lot of help on any issue I encountered and helped me troubleshoot many situations I've encountered. He even offered to let me register my car to his place so that I didn't have to smog it in the future.
I know he said he had a lot going on with his health & family life the last time I talked to him(couple months ago), so that may have a lot to do with his lack of communication.
Based on my experience with Dan I would say he will make everything right with all folks involved. I couldn't see a person going from the Dan I know to the Dan everyone is describing in this thread.
Lol nice sig! Way to help out the community! Lmao

Tell us a little more about this incident please.
Did you live in Michigan at the time this all happened, or did you live in California at the time? Just wondering because it's a lot easier to screw somebody over when they're out of state.
Alice was located in Sacramento if I remember right, and had a 93 cobra.
Thank you, you at least remember me. I had a few stangs, a 93 cobra was one of them but the car he was to work on was my silver 94 gt. And yes, Sacramento. [/QUOTE]
I'm trying to stay out of this, but Alice I do remember you we talked at length about this

This guy was probably building motors out of stolen parts from the looks of it.

Yep, haven't been on here since 2009. The other day I was bored and wanted to see if any of the old message boards I used to use were still happening, imagine my surprise when the first topic I saw was this one.

As of right now I'd be happy to just get my shit back I'll have my friend build the short block for me if I have to. Like I stated earlier all I want is my car back on the road, the vert isn't cutting it anymore.

Is he calling or answering his phone? He's at least seen the thread and had some time to think about the dirt that is happening.

I don't care how bad supposedly family life is. You make a commitment to people, take there money and parts, you owe them communication of some kind...PERIOD!
What happened to the member "Floored" needs immediate attention since it's 10 YEARS OLD at this point with A JUDGEMENT against turbo50.
I can only imagine what his garage looks like at this point with 10 engine builds going on a once. This just doesn't make any logical sense. I feel for these people poor members in this situation ![[Mad]](mad.gif) ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Not to stir the pot but still no response.....? I just seen Turbo50 logged on, and thought he was drafting a explanation to all of the mess going on. Guess not. I don't know the guy and have never dealt with him but from what I've seen in the past he has done good work. Would be nice to see him respond.

Go to his house and see if your shit is there, everyone keeps calling and txting him.. show up at his old residence, he aint responding but can login, if he can steal from this many people and people still be like fuck it he is a good guy.. then maybe this whole time he been doin cheap work and dropping shit off for free maybe he knows more about all the stolen foxbodies around here too.

He makes more money in a month than half of you guys do in a year. He is a good guy, if he had my money and motor and I knew he was moving I would of pitched a tent in his front yard till I had my parts and money.
Lol come on now. Im sure he makes good money but that's an exaggeration.
See above post with quote from railsmear, he said he has a 100k a year job, that's ballin'
100k a year job is not balling lol!

Thank you for sharing your story. This is so sad, It sounds like this guy has been scamming people for 11+ years and it needs to stop now! This post needs to be posted on other forums so this guy can't do this anymore!
Can someone who actually got scammed by him post this posts link on SVT forum, others need to know or he will just change forum and continue to scam people...
