He answered today when I called, i'm assuming he answered on accident.
I talked to Mike today, and he said the "guy" on the other line was like...

"ummm...no this isn't Craig...I mean...uh" ....click.

Dude, I feel you. I'm at almost 6 months. I'd still be waiting if I hadn't called the Credit Card company. He wouldn't answer his phone for the last 2 weeks. I didn't know what else to do. Then I get a PM about him buying a new Cadillac and that just pushed me over the edge. He couldn't get me $600 in a reasonable amount of time, but he can buy a new car! Man I was hot! He could have at leasst gotten the loan for $600 more than the buying price of the car and paid me back that way.

I don't know. Whatever, I've gotten back a thousand of the THOUSANDS of dollars I've lost in this ordeal.

Just FYI, I just dropped another $1200 at the machine shop to fix the "low mile motor" I received.

-Broken Ring
-Scar on the back 2 cylinders (had to be bored)
-Had to buy new pistons
-Replaced the rods just to make sure.
-Crank had to be turned because of a nick in a journal
-Rod Bearings
-Cam Bearings
-Main Bearings
-Re-balance
-Bore
-Line Hone
-Assembly
-...and whatever else was on the bill

If you have been directly affected by Craig Payne, please stop here and fill out this form. Unless you were refunded in full directly from Craig, he has committed a crime. Fortunately interest rates and fees of our credit card companies pay to make things right.

One complaint might not do anything, but 5 might do something.

dkbykesdk is straight hes been on the motown board a long time, craig payne on the other hand is a total tool. i cant believe hes still running around playing this circle scam with his friends.

too many people give the benefit of the doubt, but this guy is all excuses, and apologies.... other peoples money is not something to play with.

ok.. all that aside i heard hes got a nice ls7 for sale, should i buy it? lol jk.

He told me the motor is wrapped and on a pallet and thats hes going to call tomorrow for a pic up. it takes 24 hours, so he told me he will have a tracking number to me on wed.

You are taking a huge risk by having him ship you anything. I would get out while you can.

I'll vouch for JP, he's a good guy. I've worked on a few of his projects and I helped him out at his house to get a car ready for a race at the lat minute so I know where he lives, LOL.
