not sure I'd do it again

I have #1333. I ordered the car on 10/28/13 and the chassis was delivered on 6/20/14. I got the finished car delivered to me just a few weeks ago.

Alistair Miller was fine to deal with, and despite taking a while to get the car I do appreciate his attention to detail. The car itself is what you would expect, terrifying and exciting. It has a Smeding 427 with a TKO600... terrifying and exciting.

My frustration with this process has been Backdraft.... rarely have I encountered a company selling such a highly specialized and expensive product that also has such an extreme case of don'tgivea****itis.

And as if to put salt-in-the-wound, Backdraft sent me the MSO with a 16 digit VIN number, as opposed to the 17 digit that is a proper VIN. I didn't have the actual car at the time I registered it, so now all my DMV paperwork has a VIN number that is not correct. Backdraft's response is "**** happens"... as if the simple act of counting the number of digits in a legal document they are sending to a customer is too much of an inconvenience.

It'd be easy to say "well it's just a hassle now, once it works out the car will erase all the bad feelings". Maybe, but even if that were the case I'm not sure I would buy another car from them.
