Jose had my dad's 1978 Ford pickup for 5 years. It was my dad's favorite truck and I wanted it restored after he passed away. Jose said he could do it in 6 weeks. I wasn't in a rush but after 3 1/2 years, my son was getting married and wanted to drive away in the truck. I got one excuse after another. He ended up towing to Houston so they could at least have pictures made with it. After another year and a half, I just wanted the truck back in my possession. More excuses. He towed the truck to me and pushed it into my garage. I had it back, still not finished. It still had "just married" (partially washed off by rain) on the back window. It had been sitting outside of his shop since the wedding. He couldn't even wash it before returning it. After a few days, I tried to start it, he left a dead, seven year old battery in it. I got a battery, not one drop of gas. I got gas and it finally started, runs real rough. Tried to put it in drive, it won't go into gear. It has NO emergency brake and he left the windshield wipers laying in the front seat. I still don't know what else is wrong with it. The paint is chipped on the hood. I would expect after 5 years and over $25,000 later that it would be perfect. He knew what this truck meant to me. I was extremely patient and kind but he really screwed me over. Do NOT waist your time or money with Ruzty Bucketz You have no idea how disappointed and angry I am with Jose Duarte. Other than this review, not sure what to do next. read more
