1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build
I'd love to say that the speedway unit was perfect but even this rack and pinion had an issue. This was by far the nicest of the three but they didn't get their coating in the pockets near the mounts! So now here I am debating whether to send this back as well. I called them up and they checked inventory. All were that way so they knocked some money off and I kept it. Won't see it when installed anyhow and I can live with it. Still not up to my standards though.
Only thing you've missed is all the headache I've been going through! Took this powdercoating company 2 weeks to get my parts done! I didn't even look at them when I picked them up because I had already been sending them emails regarding how irritated I was and how they were jacking me around changing the price and time frame in which they'd be done. $300 later this is what I got. The spindles were sprayed so thick the coating actually was running off the parts!!! Other parts had fish eyes, pin holes, and every part was contaminated with silver or white powdercoating because they didn't clean their lines good! Worst job ever. I took them back and I was pissed. Their operations manager had to get involved and we went over everything and he went back through the email chain I had over the last couple weeks. I think he was somewhat embarrased that the parts went out like that. He wanted to chemically strip every part and have his "go to" first shift painter do the job this time. Who did I get then? The drunk 3rd shift guy who'd never done it before??? So anyhow, here I am still waiting because I can't seem to stop getting screwed by over and over and over, no matter what I do.
