Hey 4DRHTRD, I see you're using other people's/company's 'copyrighted' (according to your interpretation of copyrighting based off of Mr Templeton's website) photos on your website to show the mods you've done on your car. What gives with the hipocracy?


Are you that much of a dipshit, or are you associated with the shop in question here?

4DRHTRD, why don't you compromise. Pay someone to fix his car, a quality shop, that you guys agree on and he will remove the picts? Sounds fair to me. You screw up his car and then YOU pay someone who knows what they are doing and does a quality job to fix YOUR mistake, a job you obviously don't know how to do.

He doesnt work there, however his engine is still there so im sure hes a lil scared that the owner may see this thread and scold him for HIMSELF posting pictures on a public forum in the first place...

Far as fixing the car my dad was nice enough to loan me the cash to get the car running, however it still needs paint, body panels fixed, LOTS of missing bolts, new driver seat, new driver side rear seat, carpet kit, and I have to tear the front of the engine apart again to fix the crank seal thats leaking everywhere... I already bought a new T-56, new exhaust (which probably gave me 20 horse over the "exhaust" that was on there before), and ive had the car detailed twice trying to get the acid out of the paint, which wont come out... Not to mention it was a blast tearing the valvetrain apart to put valve seals in that he didnt install on a car I just paid a LOT of money to have done!

Oh my bad I thought he worked there. That is the way I understood it. Why is he worried about you using pictures of his engine?

Turn you own wrenches and you won't have these problems.

Did you not read what SSonyourSix said? 4DRHTRD's engine is currently being built by the shop in question and the last thing 4DRHTRD needs is for the owner/builder to see that pics he took are helping to ruin his reputation. I would be touchy too if I had an expensive engine at risk.


This same shop used to sponsor our local Fbody club in Arizona, and we had to drop them as a sponsor due to their poor work quality and carelessness with customers cars.

Thanks for the wonderful insight. Not all of us have lifts, the tools, the time or the knowhow to tear engines and trannies apart and rebuild them, or to weld.

Well, with it being 120 degrees in the middle of the day here during the summer, the last thing I wanna do is sweat my ***** off outside for 3 days... the MAIN reason I had him do my work is he was going to rebuild my transmission, which I cant do without a press, and do my rear end, which also requires a press... he offered me a deal of $350 for a cam install at the same time... which was an awesome deal. Too bad it ended up being over 500 by the time it was done so I got ripped off
