After talking to you, Bob and Bruce, I just felt comfortable with Bruce the way he wanted to do the job, the time schedule, and I felt he was generally the most intrested in doing the job the way I wanted it done. I wanted a 6 pt done in the lighest possible way with the best possible safety/strenth possible, and the way it was done is exactly what I wanted.

Your place, NRC and Bruce all do some notch work, don't think that I feel any different then that.

Sure you did Scott. Let me go home and find that quote that you gave me... I can already tell you how it reads:

6 pt chromoly rollbar: 1600

Swing outs: 300 per door.

And this magic 1600 dollar rollbar... guess what, it's good to what?

10.0! Same as every other rollbar.... what makes it so special? I couldn't figure it out, neither could anyone else that saw the price and had their jaw drop and hit the floor, hence why you didn't do it.


Don't even try to say you gave me a quote for a 10 pt, you know damn well what I wanted, after going into the shop and explaining what I wanted done and how, there could be no doubt of that.You're trying to backpedal again like usual after making yoruself look like an ***, probably the same reason that you have worked at 3 different shops in the last 3 years... the last 2 could only put up with so much of your crap before they had ot give you the boot... anyone want to take a guess how long you'll be at this one?


You wanted to go down this road, well here we go. go ahead and try to fire back, I'm sure you'll come up with some lame BS story as usual to try to cover your ***, but the bottom line, everyone that knows you, knows this is all the truth.

IMO, the worst part of it your currnet empolyer probably doesn't have any idea what you're doing to his business... it's too bad too becasue he seems like a generally nice guy and does great work. too bad he has soemone like you doing his public relations.
