Classic Roadsters

Whats up with Classic Roadsters?I'll try to make this post short and to the point.I bought the kit in October of 01 ,with the agreement that I would take delivery after 6 months.I ended up requesting delivery in august 02. After numerous phone calls and false ship dates/excuses, I was told the kit would ship on 11-19-02,however there were still some items on backorder.I was happy;after all this has been a four year dream of mine!I was looking forward to getting started.On 11-22-02 the truck arrives,a big truck,48 feet plus a king size sleeper !!!!I live in the country,and the roads are not small,but this truck could not turn into my street!!!!!Now I had a irritated truck driver to deal with.He wanted to take the load back to Fargo.I convinced him to park in the fire house parking lot a couple of miles from my house and wait while I rented a trailer to unload the kit in the parking lot.A few hours later we had the kit loaded on a double axle trailer.The truck driver was confused why he was not told by anyone at classic roadsters that it was a residential delivery,he would have used a smaller truck as there was only one other kit on the truck.Well that was the delivery fun,here's where it gets interesting!I ordered the following :Phase I,II, and III.In addition, options B,C,D,E,F,H,I,J,L,N,O,P and R. I received the body and frame and partial components of some of the options,nothing complete! Can't even build the frame, no front end springs etc.. Packaging was poor,items just put in box.i.e tail lights damaged because metal brackets in same box with no packing material! Other items were damaged as well do to packaging.I received two and a half pages of back ordered parts!!!!It is not accurate,a few items listed were received and some items not received are not on the list.What a mess!!!!!I don't know how this ever will get corrected. I have called Classic Roadsters several times and left messages with Pete Johnson,no call backs. They have had my order for a year,more than enough time! Needless to say,I''m one unhappy customer!
