I bought a completed car with title from an out of state builder. He claimed he was an experienced builder and the car had won a trophy at a car show. I looked at the pictures, called and talked to someone that knew him and the car. Good report on both. We talked about me driving it 1100 miles home. I bought the car and had it transported to me.
Four months later (200 plus hours) and it's still not on the road. EVERY thing is wrong. The car was unsafe to drive. Two rims rubbing and the steering not centered. Shocks to short, 30 plus bolts to short, loose jam nuts and bolts on the suspension, tie rod loose stripped bolts, wiring problems, missing lug nut, throttle cable to short, timing off 15 to 20 degrees, may explain way it was backfiring and blowning out the intake at the same time, no timing marker, parking brake not adjusted, I had to remove the interior to adjust it, wrong t-stat, could not remove oil filter without removing low level plug in oil pan, pieces cut out of the edge of the valve covers, that one we have not figured out, on and on and on.
Bad paint!
He was in a hurry to finish and did not care how unsafe the car would be.
This car is getting a total rebuild because I can not trust anything that he installed.

GO look at the car or pass on it.
