And your gf must be confused also because I never saw you after the second day. I had businesss to take care of and we were done with what we needed to. And I completely feel you posted it up here just to start another argument over it, which is unneccessary. Numerous people can verify me. I've spent over 60k on this car alone and probablily another 100k on other projects this year alone and never had a single issue with anyone but you. Like i said before, I wish I would have just went with someone local that was more experienced. Feel free to email me if you want to. I don't see the point in posting up on here and going through everything again.
LOL, well now you can can add $700 of my own money to that 60k figure of yours that you have put into the car. Once again Why else would I try to start something with you if you paid me everything you owed me...it just doesnt make sense. I have also had many business transactions with others and havent had any issues. I guess thats cause they actually pay the bill they are quoted. I have already played the email game with you, over 70 emails sent back and forth and no money to show for it.
So has Rick at gm high tech given you an idea on when the car would be photographed for that cover shoot that you promised me?

Why would i be paying for your car when that was your choice? I told you I would pick you up and take you where you needed to go for the paint work. I did recomend you rent a car but that was just so you could go do what you wanted with your free time and extra days you staid here. I told you I had givn my main car to my bro to use for college but we do have 8 or 9 cars here that I could have picked you up in. You booked the flight late and thats why you had a 900 instead of 860 bill, not that little bit matters too much. I shouldn't have paid $453 of that price anyway for your gf to come and watch tv and sit around.

he got 900. I could have contracted it locally for 1200 with all the materials incuded. I had to buy him almost $800 of paint for what he did, so I spent 1700 on just the flames.

ok, so that says exactly what i just stated lol. I guess you didn't read what i wrote. And if you quote the rest of the emails instead of selective ones then you see i told you I would be more than willing to pick you up. I can quote selective things if you want also. I mean I have 30 emails saying the total was 860 and not 1200. Same old thing that i've been through 20 million times with you.

Seems like Stryker is better at keeping records and doesn't have a problem remembering what was said.

Same thing?

I told you I had givn my main car to my bro to use for college but we do have 8 or 9 cars here that I could have picked you up in.
as per email?

I would give you a ride, but the car I have been driving was given to my brother to use for driving to college so I will not have a car to use.
Sounds like he was forced to get a rental car. That means they are expenses. That means you were obligated to pay for them.

Quit being a cheap *** and send him what is fair. You act like money bags, but are being a cheap skate here.

Brett did that paint job free of charge other than his expenses in return for coverage in a magazine, which, unless I miss my mark still isn't happening. Brett has posted hard evidence of you contradicting yourself as well as an extremely clear total for reimbursement. The best you can say is that you have tons of "proof" but have yet to produce anything. Pay the man what you owe

The rest of the email says i have other cars also. Anyway when he called me and said he was almost to Richmond i asked him waht he wanted to do and it was his choice to rent something. If I told him to rent something, why would he upgrade to some other car? If I had set it up then he would have just got a normal car. I have every email and pm between the two of us and the only reason he has the emails is because when I do email him, it quotes every word of every email within it. He asked for $860, he got $900. And i quote him ""Cost for me and my free labor that I am bringing down is $830.60." even though he did not bring labor with him. If only ha had come and he had worked the entire time it might have been different. I had other work for him to do while he was here but he directly said "I would rather have time to relax and look around". He even mentioned he may go and see MM run at Richmond. If I had paid his total cost for 4 days, then I would have expected 4 days of work from him and not time to look around and see local attractions. He knows I wasn't responsible for him renting the car also. Thats why when he emailed me last week he told me the total was 830 and not what he is claiming now. If you really want me to post up pictures of certain emails i can but that seems very pointless to me.

What evidence would you like besides the bank statemnt and I can provide a signed statement from 5 people verifying the cash he was given. He'll still just not agree on it so it almost seems pointless but I will go ahead and get the abnk statement next week as I said earlier. Till then I guess i'll hear more excuse how i owe him even more than what he originally asked for.

a bank statement won't prove ****. I can withdraw $1000 bucks, and just hand you $250 cash. That doesn't mean I gave you $1000. A cashed check would be more helpful here.

You better read your email reply about the rental car again, you CLEARLY state that you HAVE NO CAR TO USE and that all the other cars are drag cars. It doesn't say anything about you offering to pick him up in one of the drag cars. It says you HAVE NO CAR TO USE. Also doesn't say you have a moped, pogo-stick, biplane, or boat either. But, I suppose you could have intended for Stryker to figure those out too?

You have shown absolutely zero proof to support your story. Looks like the evidence is overwhelming in opposition to your story too. Is your credibility really worth a few hundred bucks, especially when you made big promises but haven't delivered?

well that stinks for you that if you did give him the remaining balance in cash... not very much business sense to not get a receipt or give him a check, so no one knows how much you gave him. styker14 seems to back his **** up with evidense and all you have is hear say. a bank statement's not gonna do any good like ls2bait said. you're lucky he at least said you gave him $100.

JEEEEz if you've spent 60k on your car, and now have 1000000000000k lined up for your other projects just pay them man his money!!!!! Styker that paint job is awsome id gladly pay 1200 for it....

According to Aaron1987, the paint job was free because it was going to be published in some type of magazine, which hasn't yet been published and it been over a year? So he never got to even get his advertisment in the said magazine, Thats sickening.. what come around goes around, everyone will get their comings!!

Read what i just replied last time also. He called me when he was almost here and we discussed it. I could have driven one of the drag cars if I chose to or i'm sure someone who works at the shop would have went and got him. Obviously this is not the issue since he stated the total was $830, just last week. He just felt the need to change it when he posted here and try to make it seem like i paid nothing. I have plenty of credibilty with anyone he actually knows me or has sold parts to me or bought parts from me. Just because one person wants to lie about something doesn't mean anything. I don't think it would just be a coincidence that I got 500 out of the account on the morning he got paid, especially when not even a dollar came out that account for months. I feel more than confident that the bank statement combined with 5 peoples statements saying they witnessed me give him $500 would stand up in any court. I countedthe money out to him when everyone was standing there talking so theres no question ata ll about the amount I gave him. Would you like me to type up a statement and have everyone sign it for you all? I'll be more than willing to do it, but i guess there will still be some excuse. I guess I should have got a reciept and not taken him for his word on everything. In the end, I have the cashed check, and the bank statement, and can get 5 statements stating that he was given $500 when he was there. That is more than adequate proff from me. I can't offer more than that.

I can't control how long it takes. When almost every part is one off and there was a 5 month wait on the crank to be made for the engine, it does take a while. That combined with running a business which basically allows me no time to work on my things made it take 9 months to finish the entire car. Its sad but my things always come last, as many people know from experience. He was told there was no gaurantee on when anything would happen. 9 months doesn't seem to bad for a car to come together from a shell with not one bolt on it.

I think you should just pay him what he asks for. You are happy with the job he did for you, right?
He agreed to work for expenses only, and is showing you reciepts for expenses, and you are refusing to pay? If he F-ed the job up that'd be one thing, but from the pictures it looks awesome. Much better than I can do and I've had people ship me cars from over 1000 miles away to be painted.
Stryker was forgoing profit in exchange for magazine coverage that he's still waiting for... the least you could do is cover his expenses. With all that work you're covered up in, it probably wouldn't break your bank
