I disagree. If you bring a part into a shop and give it to them they will install it but they won't warranty anything about it.

As stated above Victory supplied parts to a shop, in this case it was KCM, and had them assembled. The client dealt with Victory and Boudy and that was where the warranty came from. I remember many a conversation about the crap Boudy was doing and it was going to bite him in the ass but if your customer wants something installed, if you think it will only last 3 months or not, you can't force them to spend more and put in the parts you know will last.

Many of the cars Boudy sold were actually taken back to his shop..motors assembled from the short blocks, and then brought back to Rob when he "didn't have time to finish them" so you get cars in some sort of half ass state of build. KCM's problem was Boudy was their customer and they did what the customer asked with ample warning to him about the results...and that they didn't warranty parts they didn't supply.

Oh and I remember at least one car that left with parts on it and came back for something and amazingly they had changed to something from his part bin of cheap parts..then you really get into a problem.
