I’m not a crazy customer. I’ve just been told 6 separate times that it was imminently ready, just to get another excuse. I budget my time carefully as I don’t have a whole lot of it, and expect others to respect that.
I think they’ve just grown too popular too fast and are missing deliverables. One random guy with a cage order gets pushed down in priority when they have shows to prepare for and sponsored cars to deliver with worse consequences for missing those than mine. They’re moving to a larger space now having realized this, and seem genuinely sorry about the delay.
I hope their work is worth the wait and that I’m drilling chassis holes on Sat at some point.

Assuming you get it tomorrow, what was the total delay?

Having been through several experiences with long (unforeseen) delays that ate into my track / racing season, the issue that bother me most here is not the delay itself but rather the false promises. How can you believe anything they say if they have misled you on six separate occasions? Hope it finally gets delivered today and that it is 100% up to snuff.

^ Exactly. I can’t keep putting aside time and changing plans to make time to put it in. It’s unreasonable and rude.
It’s almost 1pm here. Cageless in LA.

Yeah, waited around all day. No rollbar. I just hope to get it at all now, or my money back. Super irritated.

Yikes! And sorry for delay on Syncro arms info. It does turn out there's a different PN for the PFL and FL arms, with the FL arms being quite a bit more expensive, so David wasn't sure if there was going to be an appetite for the FL. I'll check back this week to see if he wants to release a GB on something though to see if there's interest.

Jim - that sucks. If this ends up falling though and you're still looking for a roll bar, I know of a professional race support team based at Buttonwillow (they look after an AMG GT4 and a Norma M30 LMP3 prototype that are raced by the Canadian AMG DA Chief Instructor who is a friend of mine). I would be happy to make some inquiries regarding a custom roll bar / cage for your C63. Even if they are unable to do it themselves, I am sure they would know the right people for the job in your neck of the woods.

Thanks for the generous offer Doug, I’ll probably take you up on that.
Right now I’m focused on finding out if there is even a cage or getting my money back. I’m just not going to deal kindly with liars. The deposit was paid in a suspect way, and I have limited recourse other than showing up at their shop in the morning and asking for my money back. Not responding to phone calls or email isn’t helping.
Needless to say, stay far away from these guys until they can demonstrate that they have their shďt together.

Maybe progress. Now the story is that they just moved to a big new space this weekend, didn’t sign the lease in time so didn’t have keys and some parts were locked somewhere. I can’t even follow the stories anymore. Is it at the powdercoater? Is it locked in a room? Talked to Robert and he was again super apologetic saying they’ll make it up to me. “Growing pains” he says, definitely not a scam he says. We’ll see. He is going to talk to powdercoating and call me back before 5pm with an update on when I can pickup. I’ll believe it when I see it.

No, of course not. No phone call.
But they had time to post a picture of their new shop space on Instagram. Wonderful that they have their priorities straight.

Since it's probably made up of a few or more employees, some may not be related to the order and bother with other stuff like that. Seems like a complex situation, difficult for them but not great for anyone else....

There’s nothing “complex” about being honest and keeping promises.

Well, it is true that they are moving and whatnot...
However, I also could have built one myself in 14 weeks so it is absurd

Well, I’ve been told I can pickup on Friday. Hopefully this is all back on track.
