I contacted an attorney this week and spoke with him concerning all of the above. I will have by car back by June 10, 2010 - finished or not. I just can't wait any longer, cars go way bad when you let them sit this long. I know Loyde is probably overloaded, but that is not my problem. --Will Any word yet, it's only like 12 days away? madcurl MAY 30, 12:13 PM quote Originally posted by cooguyfish: Any word yet, it's only like 12 days away? fierocarparts JUN 01, 10:07 PM Will, Any progress pics? dobey JUN 01, 10:17 PM quote Originally posted by fierocarparts: Will, Any progress pics? Maybe someone finally got out the weed eater? mptighe JUN 02, 04:18 PM Speaking from experience, no news on a build thread is rarely good news. I'm thinking he's trying to find a way to either get his car, or get the work done. I do hope one or the other happens for his sake. Not having either is definitely the worst case scenario in my opinion. darkhorizon JUN 02, 10:01 PM From my dealings with loyde, every other sentence is "dont say anything on the internet about this". Or "if you dont take down that stuff you said, I will send a nasty letter to your mom", or "if you dont remove what you said from me Cliff will ban you", or in this case "I wont build your car if you say anything on PFF". It helps him rip people off by keeping them brainwashed into thinking they are somehow getting a good deal. Also keeps his "im on a comeback" type marketing plan in action. When dealing with crooks, you ALWAYS play by their rules... If it was a stand up situation there would be updates posted by the builder..

This is so true that its actually painful to think about - you never get to deal with a crooked character on your own grounds. I do hope things work out, however, I'm not going to hold my breath. (you know, DH, for all the crap that follows you around, you do have some moments of monumental brilliance. Well put, sir.) mptighe JUN 09, 01:46 PM Hey Will, tomorrow's D-Day. Any word on anything yet? Do we have a reason to celebrate or do you need help hiding a body (car or man)? Will-Martin JUN 09, 03:37 PM quote Originally posted by mptighe: Hey Will, tomorrow's D-Day. Any word on anything yet? Do we have a reason to celebrate or do you need help hiding a body (car or man)? Thanks for all the words of encouragement, I agree that any builder worth his weight would have the common courtesy to at least update his customers from time to time. No word from Loyde or the lawyer. I told the lawyer I would leave it in his hands, that I was tired of messing with it. There is apparently a bunch of red tape and hoops we have to jump through to file a lawsuit, serve Loyde, place liens, coordinate the sheriff's/police department, etc. Anything over $10k can't be handled in small claims court in our county so I have to sue him in civil court which means me having to fork over a couple of grand to a lawyer on top of what I have already spent. Also there was some kind of ordeal that shut down the county clerk's office for a couple of weeks so that delayed all of this. Nothing will happen on June 10th like I was told, but in the first part of July I will most likely get my car back. I will definitely keep everyone updated. --Will dobey JUN 09, 03:54 PM Good luck Will. This really sucks. I hope your car isn't a total loss from having sat outside so long with no care or cover. Any respectable shop should store a customer vehicle covered indoors, and nowhere near the grasslands of the sahara, as yours seems to unfortunately be.
