Not to go against your experience, but Joe screwed me big time. He took over two months to do a big block build that should have taken 4 weeks top (due to poor planning on his part...he knew about my build, and used the block for someone else who came in after me). Once he finished and stuck it on the dyno, a rear main leak was discovered. He basically walked away from the build and sent my builder a check for the amount paid. Very disappointing and unprofessional on his part. Other than that, I am sure he is a great guy.  |
