Yes those hoses are made specifically for it.

If I were you I would get all of your shit back, including what you paid him with and go somewhere else. Fuck that guy.

Long time no see!!!

Are you still in the neighborhood? And that sucks about the paint. I was actually wondering the other day if you had got the car finished or not, but at least it looks like you have your ducks in a row now. If you need some "motivation" for that guy to finish your car I can definitely help you out.

Unfortunatly the payment for the job was a trade, a K5 blazer for the work, and of course the truck was sold. Yeah yeah I know what your thinking , how did he sell the truck w/out a title???????? hmmmmmm well I'M A DUMBASS. When I hired him to do the work I was activly over there checking on progress everyday. Then when I got the money I went and bought the motor, so I had him stop work on the car so I could get the motor in w/out f-ing up the cars new paint. Well the swap took a little longer than I thought. While I was in the middle of the swap he came to me asking for the title so he could drive it, because his truck had broken down. So I wrote up a doc. saying what was being traded for what and had him sign it. Heres where it gets complecated, after I had started the project my girl got pregnant, so I had a limited time to get the car fully funtional so all I had to do would be to drop it off for the rest of the body work and paint. Just as I was about to finish the swap (like wiring stuff, tps porb) here comes my baby girl, and I've got to be honest w/ you, for a while the paint guy would call 2-3 times a week, and after about 2 months of him calling asking me to bring the car so he could finish it , the calls stoped........
I failed to mention the right after my little girl was born I bought a house out in Amelia, so I was in the middle of a move too.......

So really cant go anywhere else .. I kinda just have to deal w/ it ..

This is very true , If the guy didn't even bother to call me , then yeah I'd deff. want to "beat his ass". For right now though , I'm just excited that I found him and he has all of my parts still.
