It's gonna be a sick car for sure, plus GearHeads is a FREAKING long way away compared to TrueStreet...

What happened?

 

[Sinner]

Ok, 3 issues.....
1) something is wrong with 2 cylinders on driver side head and the head is coming off. On the first start I piece of metal was heard in the motor and they killed it right away and fished it out from on top of a piston. The only though I have is that it came from the ford racing intake that was on the Roush when that motor blew. They did flush and clean out the intake but maybe that piece was still in there.

However, the long block was sitting at a long time without an intake so something could have gotten in there at some point. It did look like a piece of the old blown block.

2) some thing dented the rear quarter on the car behind the gas cap and cracked the paint. This will need repaint and metal work with touch up in some green and pin too.

3) some thing happened to passenger side fender and door causing 2-3 FOOT crease in the car and messing up the clear. This should be able to PDR and buff out.

Will must say that shit happens and I'm very very happy the car is at True Street rather then anywhere else. They have been very helpful in this build and stand by their work when I just threw a complete mess onto them. They didn't build the motor so that's on me but they are handling getting the paint/dents fixed.

A big plus is the guy that painted my car originally is working 5 min from true street and will be the person fixing this for us.

 

[Taxman]

Holy shit Greg. That fucking sucks.

Did the body damage happen while it was at the shop?

Did the body damage happen while it was at the shop?

Yes and they are handling it.... Shit happens and I don't feel it was negligence or anything. They actually went out of their way to avoid the car as much as possible.

 

[lethe]

It's good they are handling it, but it doesn't sound like they are doing a good job avoiding it if they caused damage on opposite corners of the car.

Damn is that some shit.
