last email thread from Nov 5, and note Nick didn't offer the replacement ladder until I posted on consumer watch:

Hey xxxx I'm looking at some numbers on it and will get back to you.

Nick,


If you are serious about sending a new ladder, please do so in the next thirty days and I will consider the matter resolved. It would be nice to have this resolved before the holiday season. I have not heard from you since I answered your email Saturday.


Thanks!

​As you know I have another complete ladder frame here and all the suspension sub assemblies tacked together. It has every bracket and part for the whole frame EXCEPT FOR the tubing to hold the body up. It is a heck of a nice jig saw puzzle to put a car together and I was hoping you, or I, could replace your frame​ with it.
When I saw your car advertised I wanted to talk to you about it but you seem pretty hell bent on bridge burning.
This whole fiasco is based on a 3 yr project (actually 10 for me) having to ship on a date you had arranged.
It's pretty easy to change a schedule if it is communicated and agreed on.
In a one man shop I can't finish all 10 projects right now but I do what I can.
FWIW I don't know if they even make a .150" wall tube, if that's an indication of your measuring like I said "put the calipers back in the tool box" and note there are no tolerances on any of the drawings I've ever seen, and go back to a tape measure built functional chassis.


Cheers,

Nick Acton
