You know Mike, this puts me in a somewhat difficult position as I don't want to upset my friendship with Tim. He tends to keep his personal life private and I know he doesn't want me telling world his probelms.
He has had family in the hospital/surgery and been caring for them. That takes priority, period. I'll leave that at that.
That said, I know Tim told you a couple weeks ago he was returning your money for the body. So there has been communication between the two of you. He emailed you prior to that as I understand it w/o any response from you. I understand your recent loss of your job causing the need for money and building a car at this point isn't the best path to take. I'd want a refund too but why would someone treat you with respect when your not willing to return the favor. If you push someone against the wall, don't expect them to stand there and take it, especially in this hobby. That catch phrase "the customer is always right" is offten bunk IMO.
I'm not looking for an argument here and I'm not a spokesman for Sagebrush or Tim in any way. He told me he would be sending you the money and he does feel that you deserve the refund. I think what happened here is bad timing with Tims personal responsibility to his family and a lack of respect for the other guy in this deal. It's too bad that the deal can't work out as Tim is really a craftsman. People contact him from all over the world for replacment parts for their original cars. That's how accurate his products are.
Anyway, that's how I see this situation. Hope everything works out for you for the best.
