Calling the integrity of Bill Connelly and Upstate Super Replicars into question

This even applies to "internal engine" components, as you'd have to show proof that the motor wasn't tampered with at any point along that time line.

I'm not an attorney, but I do work with legal documents a lot and I understand how the law works (unfortunately, not as well as a Smith & Wesson). And I also realize that you're publicly asking another guy to do the right thing and right the wrong. Unfortunately, in our country that can be misconstrued as slander and, the next thing you know, YOU end up being the target of a defamation of character law suit.

Dean,

I agree with you regarding the "legal" standing on this issue. I also think that most everyone does seem to be a bit too "sue crazy" these days.

It seems to me that Bill S. is just trying to help right a wrong as he sees it without anyone resorting to legal action at this point. I'd surely like to hear what Bill M. has to say on the subject.

It sure would have been nice if this thing could have been settled as gentlemen used to in the "good old days" with some rational discussion between all parties before it got to this point.
