Dude i never really talked to the dude. The number you gave me didn't work and any other one i never got a response from or was changed. The only time i talked to him was once from his and another from your phone. Then you gave him the wheels before he had even paid me.. Then said contact him to get my money and didn't have a permit number i could reach him at.
Point being you never should have given him the wheels to begin with or at least call me to verify that he had actually paid me.


Do you even happen to have any info on him? I still wouldn't mind paying him a visit

I would suggest Richard Painter in Euless on Highway 10.

Kim Barr is in Garland, but is pretty high for what you get.

I used Rick at Metroplex Machine in Mesquite. Lloyd steered me his way. He seemed to do good work and cost wasn't horrible, wasn't cheap either. Haven't put the motor in the car yet, so I don't know the results. Hopefully in two weeks though!
