Great story in the details, oooo the drama that came to a head when you went to pick up your truck. Did you lose money or just time at that shop? I cant remember everything in that story...Glad you have let the community know about dirty dealings to help the next guy looking into that shop.

Did you lose money or just time at that shop? I cant remember everything in that story...Glad you have let the community know about dirty dealings to help the next guy looking into that shop.---------------------------------------------I understand there is a lot to read I lost about $2,000-$3,000 in 40 months on trips back and forth to the body shop. It takes me 4 hours one way to get to Lubbock and I would take off work to check in on "progress" so I could see what else they were working on. It would cost me around $200 per trip. I probably made around 3 to 4 trips a year, which sounds reasonable. But after I told Jason about that, all he could say was "I've never told you that you had to come down here." Well no he didn't, but emails and phone calls and running into him at shows didn't do anything for me...I called him and told him I was coming down to pick up some parts of mine. He told me he WOULD have them ready for me. However he went to a KISS concert in Detriot instead, so I planned for 2 weeks later. I called him 2 days before we made our road trip down there and he said I will have your parts ready for you. But he didn't have my a set of $200 LED taillights that I have already prewired. He signed a paper telling me he would send them but it's been almost a month and I still don't have them. I know he wanted to get his Sema projects done before he messed with me again but it's the principal behind his "paper" and "word" just shows you what he does to people... I just want my taillights so I can move on and get away from him... High Res. Written Guarantee that I will have my taillights shipped to me.

Damn homie! That sucks! I just read the whole thing and I am sorry you had to put up with all this and I hope enough people read about your story and the other that I read the other day to stay away from this guy. I am glad I read your story though, I have seen pics of the rear of your truck for a couple years now and just never really knew the story behind it. Now I do. haha. I think I ran into you last year at Texas Showdown as well, just didn't know it was you. haha. Anyways bro, I hope you get it back on track and I hope like hell he does end up installing one or many of your Tonneau gates, hell I will buy one just to take to him to install on my F150! hahaha. Good luck man and I hope to see it in next years SEMA coverage.
