Hey Mustangs...
Go borrow eleven five from a loan shark and try not paying it back.
Let me know how you make out!
I know the post may sound harsh but the way i read it, it sounds more like a sign of frustration rather than what the average person will do...calling someone stupid for it is not very nice.
not to speak for everyone here but i doubt any one here or the person that posted about a bat or shot gun would actually do it, again, it is, i like to think, an exageration, however, many people have killed for less than 11 thousand and some get away with it. others don't...that is partially why jails are full.

I went back and edited my quote to not call someone stupid as I agree with you there. I wouldn't even think about dumping 11.5K into a Fiero so no worries about me borrowing that amount from the bank then worring about getting it back.
My comments really have nothing to do with this Thread but the comment that was posted as I would have posted the same comment in this Thread or any other Thread that it was posted in. I am just saying that the internet really brings out the E-thug in people.......

Then there is the end result payment of the conversion I now fear I will never see without filing a lean on the car. I don’t want to own a running and driving chop top. They are worthless in this economy.

How much were they worth 4 years ago? Archie's stinger comes to mind, what did he get for it?

I have no reason to help you to a ‘good’ end result with this crap. |

You make it sound as if Will has done something wrong. This is how the thread started.

I stopped by the FastFieros shop today to see the progress on my engine swap. There are a couple of projects still ahead of me, but Loyde was busting his a$$ in the 100 degree heat. 
My 5.3l engine and transmission are mated with the custom adapter plate and an exhaust solution is being hammered out for the LSx by Loyde and fitted to my car. All I can say is WOW, you have to see it to believe it and I can't wait. Just thought I would let everyone who is dealing with Loyde atm know he is really working hard to get back on track and the LSx installs he will be doing are going to be AWESOME.

He gave you praise and all you gave him in return was grief. You had the power to end this thread with a positive note but have chosen not to.

To be perfectly honest with everyone.....absolutely. I am not condoning anyone of limited means to do such a thing, but there are those that will do such a thing. I may have grown up a bit different than most. I may have known a guy, that knew a guy... But yes, it does happen.

Honestley i have been following this thread but keeping my mouth shut on it. This is really sad, Loyde i have never been one of your customer's and i dought i ever will be but you really have no place to come on here blasting about how people are slandering/libling you about you and your work. Its only slander/lible when the words being spoken are not true. You took a guys car from my recolection 6 years ago with the promises of having a finished product and you havent even started work on it. Not to mention you have tied up $11.5K which will is most likeley never going to see again. When you get your work up to date and have everything that needs to be finished done than come on here boasting, I dont care what kind of life problems/issues you have run into. You have a business and were paied to preform a service to this gentelmen that has not been preformed, Its not Will's fault that you cannot keep your personal life out of your business. And insted of saying I cannot do it and giving the money back to him you held his car unfinished and unworked on for 6 years and most likeley spent most if not all of his hard earned money. If it were me personaly i would have had you in court years ago demanding double my money back for the time the car was out of commission. It's one thing to hold a car for a year and slowley do work on it with the owners consent. Its another to throw a car in your back yard and leave it there for 6 years when you have been paied to preform a service to it. [This message has been edited by pontiackid86 (edited 10-15-2010).]

I can only imagine the damage done to the car being in the heat/untouched for this many years as well.... I have a feeling you will also be out quite a bit of that to the point where the rusty (do things rust in texas?) hull is only going to be worth a few thousand after you get it out of impound, vs the ~$10,000 it was worth going in.
You also have potential interest on that money, which could be well into the thousands after 5 years. Add in damages that you will never get back and you are looking at about $30,000 that this guy has taken from you. This is also not factoring in the sale of your old motor/trans, which knowing this crook would have probably been in the 5-7k range.[This message has been edited by darkhorizon (edited 10-15-2010).]
