good luck. I (we) have heard all of that before... and quintessentially, that is the problem.
I'm still waiting on mundane parts and a revision of the condenser setup. If only he would be more honest and say, listen, you'll get a kit, but its gonna take 6 months as I'm up to my ears in work. That would be fine with me.

guys take it easy ,,, i know that joel is so busy bullding our kit's i have one kit from hem befor 4 month ago and it took 8 month to receved it .and i got big 5 inch DP and i got it hear to kuwait ,, am in the ather half of the world am the one should be fraied from not having my kit but am sure that am going to receved it ,, and right now i have anther kit is order in 9 month right now and am sure that am going to receved it from hem just give hem some time.
and i called hem today and he told me that he got every thing but he is waiting on the intercooler and the radiator and he is not the one who billeds them , he should have some one les to do that from hem .
and take hem to court is not the right way its going to take time tell you guys have your money , its better to wait and its better for hem to have realistic delivery schedule so it will keep evry one happy.

I also don't think taking it to court should be used as the end all solution here.... He has a business to run and with all things considered, its still fairly new and some us know the pressure involved.
However, I feel another employee might be a good idea, in order to keep his clients up-to-date and possibly be a bit more honest on delivery dates.
Joel isn't, i don't think, like Chris from the old APE, I just Joel doesnt take it there.

Why did you guys all pay in full given the history of these types of companies?
It's not that all these people are dishonest, they are just not good business men. Once CC charges start getting reversed b/c he can't live up to his delivery dates the CC companies cut him off and he can't take new orders. Then the shop goes under. Paying for anything in full in advance isn't all that bright.

Ok I have read this all and I am very upset that this has happened. I would like to apoligize to the 4 people that have been waiting for there kits. The other people that have not ordered a kit or that have nothing nice to say please keep all your comments to yourself. There is no need to add your comments if you have nothing to loose.
Im getting things worked out and they will be getting there stuff. I have spoken to everyone lately about there orders and are getting this taken care of.
Also to everyone that thinks that Im just going to close up and run you have it all wrong. Just b/c others have done that in the past doesnt mean that I am. I have been available and try to answer everybodys phone calls, pm's and emails. Im not going to close and run. Everybody will get there kits or parts owed.
You all think that you have a shop you have tons of money and will just take your money and run. If you honeslty must know I have put all my earnings back into the shop and to pay for living expenses. I have nothing like toys, house or cars either. So you cant say that I took there money and are living life great. I drive a 99 cavalier with 163,000 miles on it that my brother when he got another car.
The reason that I take google checkout is b/c I had a customer from Michigan order a kit and he recived then files a complaint with them and he also got his money b/c I hand delivered the kit so there was no tracking number to prove that he got it. So now my paypal account is all messed up and trying to get it worked out with threw the courts.
If any other person wants to say something bad about me or my shop please call 440-582-3030 and I will talk to you in person about your complaint.

I can say as someone who has not ordered one of your kits that threads like this does not make it inviting to order one. It seems like these threads are constantly popping about on a weekly basis. Why not try some of that honesty when promising delivery dates! Be realistic with what you promise to people and maybe you wouldn't see people questioning your character. I do have one question that I would like you to answer though, what is the need for requesting a 100% down payment up front? Why not just ask for 50% to start and then maybe send out the hot/cold parts and then request the other 50% upon shipping out the rest of the kit?
I would really like to purchase one of your kits but there is no way I'm willing to send you $8k up front in hopes that I may receive my kit in the time you promised. Especially after seeing that no one has ever received them on their promised date. I am the type of person that if I am paying for something now, I want it now. I don't want it 8-12+ months from now. I've got no problem waiting 8-10 weeks but not 8-10 months.
Have you ever considered purchasing your items in bulk and not on a case by case basis? It would probably even save you a few $$'s. If you're having supplier issues, maybe you should find a different supplier. I mentioned it earlier in the thread that maybe you should build your hot/cold parts in bulk and have them sitting there for kits that are ready to go out the door.
I'm not trying to bash you man, just trying to make a few suggestions.
