The only thing I can think of is, the guys in the LC community tolerate this kind of work? Bondo boogers in the door? Is that why there are no pics of the inside of the doors? Nevermind, don't bother answering that one.
There is much more to what I do for a living than taking apart trucks or even selling parts. While it isn't my claim to fame I assure you that I have enough repair, restoration and custom work under my belt to know quality work from questionable. And yes there usually more than one right way to tackle a problem, and this is my opinion obviously, but honestly, calling attention to this build (it is not a restoration in any sense of the term) and defending its pimp-my-ride style discredits you as a professional. But please keep rolling with your build, hopefully noone else will offer any criticism because we know from experience you don't handle it well. We wouldn't want you to go back and delete all your posts or anything.
You might want to call Waxoyl on Monday and have them update their site to include the "only application center in the S.E."
You know..there was a point in your last post or two where i was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and I had almost decided that you were not a jackass. I was wrong on that one.
You define yourself as a hobbyist that dabbles in restoration work (D90 Source Thread). I followed that thread and I was impressed with the quality of the work and the build. It was equally obvious that you had no real idea how to do such work on a large scale, to do it on time and to do it within a proscribed budget.....You really did not even finish it! You worked on that truck as a guy that wanted to build a great truck; to hell with the time or the cost. To do this commercially in the real world is another story. Maybe that is why you are still selling used parts.
Your opinion really make no difference to me. You words make you look foolish.
I will credit you on this: The first post that you weighed with was covertly racist while your second post was overtly racist. I am pretty surprised no one here said a word about that one. Great work mods!
What do we have here at the end of this Sunday:
I am just some guy who is posting up some PICs and info about a build. Neiter an expert nor claims to be an expert. Not trying to sell or pimp anything; actually looking for feedback both positive and negative. I am a guy with over 34 years of 4wd experience, 28 or so of Land Rover experience, 25 or so of Land Cruiser experience, 20 years of working on cruisers and rovers commercially and 12 years of owning a successful restoration business.
And now we have this other guy...obviously a racist, who jumps in like a fat man into a kiddie pool to rant and rave about how I am wrong, how I do crap work, how I am this and how I am that.... yet i cant see his work around on any real scale, despite kudos on some of the work ...that really raises a question. We also have a guy who might think he has every reason to trash me as he has a small "business" that he might see my business as some sort of threat to...Hmmmmmm....that does muddy the water a bit....maybe conflict of interest?
At the end of this Sunday all I can say is BIG FISH SMALL POND
You are right I need to get on their ass with the Waxoyl.
