[QUOTE]Originally posted by 135.0: [QB] Life kicks your ass once in awhile, I know the pictures are all fun and games and shit but I know the people who trusted Dan to put together mostly bad ass motors. You realize when you pay someone upfront you're in it with them through thick and thin and if they fall so does your deal. I've dealt with this many times to many good people with good intentions who in this hobby world, first loves the hobby, 2nd loves to see others enjoy the hobby, last thing is to get paid. But always remember the key here is $, how much you could save, how much time you have and how you can leverage others to get you what you want for cheap. People like Dan are collateral damage in situations like this, if you cheap fuckers would pay him exactly what he's worth he probably wouldnt have money problems, he'd also probably have his own shop, he might not have so many people wanting him to build them motors to the point he was backed up as bad as he was. This probably caused him stress, this probably caused his other private issues. Spending your every last free minute to spend on the hobby so people can enjoy it on the cheap will cause strain with others around you that are not as passionate about the hobby as you are. I don't truly know what happened to Dan's personal life, I don't need to because I already know this side work played a part in all of it. So for the people who at the moment are out money, engines, parts. MOVE ON, chalk it up as a loss or sue the guy but having him do the work on the cheap like you expected is obviously not happening anytime soon. You need to move forward to the next project or chapter, turn the page. And remember the lesson you learned, never pay anybody upfront for any work, always get a set time frame for completion of work, the best deal isn't always the cheapest. In fact it is hardly the cheapest EVER. Hope this helps any of the fucked over, otherwise. LET HIM ALONE! :mad: [/QB][/QUOTE]
