Who is waiting for a harness from Loyde Rascoe at Fastfieros? (Page 11/49) jscott1 OCT 22, 10:30 PM quote Originally posted by darkhorizon: Or you could go to a junkyard, get a harness for $40, wire it up THAT NIGHT, and drive it out.. Unfortunately for Will he needs a lot more than a harness... His car has no engine in it. jscott1 OCT 22, 10:36 PM quote Originally posted by darkhorizon: People, just because this loyde guy has totally screwed you, you guys did spend A TON MORE MONEY than you should have anyway... It does not mean that it really costs thousands of dollars to run wires to a box. As you get older, one of the things you will really begin to appreciate is that TIME IS MONEY. Yeah, it's just wires going into a box. But if you have never done it before, you are going to have to spend hours studying the books just to figure out how to do it. Then to actually make the harness you are going to spend hours if not days, learning how to crimp wires, solder, heat shrink, etc. Then when you turn the key and nothing happens, you are going to spend hours, days, weeks troubleshooting it. So it might take a few months if not longer for a rookie to do this. If you have a day job that makes $50 bucks an hour or more it's cheaper to pay someone to do it for you. darkhorizon OCT 22, 10:52 PM I am willing to bet nearly EVERYONE in this thread they have spent more time calling loyde and harassing him about getting their money back, than they would have if they just did it. Doesnt anyone have a "neighbor" or something that would sit through and help them if the time/money thing was that important? jscott1 OCT 23, 12:21 AM quote Originally posted by darkhorizon: Doesnt anyone have a "neighbor" or something that would sit through and help them if the time/money thing was that important? Unless I live next door to you, my neighbors are not going to be very helpful in making a wiring harness. Like I said, an engine harness isn't Rocket Science, but to do anything right takes time. If I want my roof done I call in a roofer, if I want my fence repaired I can call a carpenter. Most things are quicker and easier when done by professionals. I'm speaking in generalities, obviously there are exceptions to the rule. Erik OCT 23, 03:20 AM wiring harnesses takes time I average about 3 8 hr days just in labor alone not including any sourcing and procurement of material and testing and time taken for shipment ..its a tedious job but someone has to do it and now for some ramen noodles to escape the spagetti Rare87GT OCT 23, 07:04 PM It isn't the fact that most people can do it, it's the fact that they have paid money to have jobs taken care of and they have nothing. Will's car is a whole different story when he has a vehicle sitting there waiting for more than a harness. If these people were merely trying to get a hold of Loyde for some advice on a harness, I can understand saying you might want to invest a bit of time learning how to wire it up correctly on your own. But that is simply not the problem here, people have paid money and want their money back or a harness completed. That's the facts as much as I have read them on here anyways. exoticse OCT 23, 08:34 PM Still scraching my head a bit,..... Does this guy live out in the middle of nowhere or what ? Are you telling me know body sees him out and about ? Nobody lives near him and can get some kind of explanation ? jscott1 OCT 24, 12:43 AM quote Originally posted by exoticse: Still scraching my head a bit,..... Does this guy live out in the middle of nowhere or what ? We all know exactly where he lives...The issue is that you can't just barge onto a person's property and start grabbing stuff. In Texas, you can get "Joe Horned" and wind up in the morgue. Will was expecting Loyde to actually finish his car up until recently. I know I went through the same thing with my car. I kept expecting it to get finished and eventually I realized it was never going to happen. My situation wasn't quite as bad, at least I was able to collect up most of the pieces and get my car. If not, I would have had the sheriff with me. exoticse OCT 24, 12:47 AM No i didn't mean barge in and take stuff, i just meant knock on the door and ask him what the heck is going on. jscott1 OCT 24, 12:48 AM quote Originally posted by exoticse: i just meant knock on the door and ask him what the heck is going on. I guess he's not been home lately? It would be nice to find out if something bad happened to him? Might be time to get CSI on the case?
