Whats kind of funny is I knew the guy was shady from the gitgo. People just kept asking him to make stuff for them, yet every time I emailed the guy for pictures he never sent any. The only stuff Ive seen is his half finished seat delete and the hood he was making. Nothing complete. For those of you that sent cash to him, you should have thought it out more. Because if you really think a solitary man working out of his garage taking orders from over 3 fbody sites is going to be able to keep promises, youre fooling yourself.

I got legit pictures of my hood mostly complete before I sent the rest of the money. Seemed pretty legit to me.

Yea i wouldn't blame this on the buyer..He showed pictures and gave us the information to contact him such as phone # and email and home address..not very smart of him to just scam us if he gives away all his information to contact him

As someone else mentioned, he uses the name AlpineTA. Although if I remember correctly he got ran out of CZ28 on a rail. Or maybe it was another promise breaker.

Rex has nothing to do with the situation other than being a nice guy. He has his own "Established & Reputable" hood manufacturing company. I probrably should have called him in the first place.
