I tried him today also,box was full. I wouldn't worry though,there are very few people in this industry that are as straight a shooter as him. If I had to venture a guess he's on the road delivering a car,or picking up parts and his phone is prolly melted and or he forgot his charger

Definitely have had better luck calling then emailing.

I'm sure he's just swamped. It is April 14th... maybe he's late working on his taxes

I've been trying to contact Matt since before X-Mas. (E-Mail & phone)
He has not returned any of my calls either.
Just get an answering machine.
I also need some parts.
That's not like Matt.
What's up @ GMMG?
Has anyone been there lately?

UPDATE: I just talked to Matt on the phone this morning.

I have been having the same problem too. I finally have spoken to angel and I am getting my parts for my Blackbird now, but I have been unable to get a hold of Matt for talks on the phase 2 package. I didn't ask Angel, but I hope everything is ok.

i went through the same thing with matt on my two gmmg cars, he is always on the road picking up or delivering cars around the country. He really needs to hire someone to either run the day to day operations in the shop or pay someone to pick up the car. Being a business owner for 20 years i can understand how hard it is to maintain your business in this enviroment, trust me, be patient, it is well worth the wait.

As a side note i am going to sell my gmmg 2002 tom henry phase 2 b4c car soon on ebay if any members are interested in the car you may email me for all of the options on the car and price

All I can say guys is just keep trying. HE IS BUSY. I know that Mark (LateBrakeU2) and I have both talked to him in the last week to 10 days. I called him..............didn't get him but he apparently saw my telephone number on his caller i.d. and called me back and left me a message as he didn't get ahold of me. Then I called him back and had to try a couple of times before I finally did get ahold of him.

He has never AVOIDED me or IGNORED my telephone calls.

My last conversation was on March 26. He said he would call in a couple of days when he picked something up for me.
It the 27th. I have called him everyday since the first. He has yet to call me.


I am trying another avenue of contact at this time.
And hope that will work.

But Im not holding my breath.

I would love to have your optisim (sp??) but she has made one phone call to me in 11 months of dealing with them. She left a message, I called back. She did not return the call back. That was two months ago.
