I took a rad here from a collector car as I'm rebuilding & can't believe the lack of care & attention!
First, I didn't receive what I was billed for, which was pressure testing, straightening fins and paint.
I have to assume they pressure tested, but the fins are worse now than when I brought it in. If they straightened them, they must have leaned something against it or dropped it afterwards because more are bent now than when I took it in. I will have to tackle this myself to undo the damage. I am not impressed because the more they are manipulated the weaker they get.
On top of this, yes they painted it, but knowing it's a collector part, they used the wrong black! They used high gloss when Ford only ever used chassis black, a semi-gloss, for the muscle car period. I didn't ask for the paint, but it must have been part of the service? Either way, they did me no favors!
The icing on the cake is that when I lifted it up, I found a cigarette butt embedded in the fresh paint job and there is a big paint glob that needs to be picked out. It has to be redone now.
I should have looked closer when I was there, but they came highly recommended and the guy chatting me up when I dropped it off seemed to know what he was about. I didn't because I trusted that guy, who probably handed it off to someone less experienced and I trusted the referral.
I'm not impressed and I do NOT recommend them. read more
