1962 scout 80. Finally under way

ah a nother peace of te puzzle has been ordered. Workman unlimited rear bumper. Finaly will be able to tow....

Sean builds nice quality bumpers, but you will need to keep on him to get it done. I ordered front and rear plus rock sliders. He quoted me 2 months to build, it took him 7 months to deliver. I had to keep on him for the last 5 months. When everything arrived I was still missing hardware for the rear bumper, a high-lift jack, and 2 rotopax and mounts I ordered from him. It took countless phone calls. He did make good on everything except 1 of the 2 rotopax. I finally gave up. Out the money for the last roto-pax, well worth not fighting any longer.

Don't get me wrong, he is a good guy he just seems like he needs help with the business side. That is just my 2 cents.

The quality really is nice, great workmanship.

Side note, I am finding there are a lot of people and businesses that just do not deliver on their promises. We no longer live in a world were a persons word is gold. People take what they can get and screw everything else. So far in my build I have found IH Parts America, and dan's drive-line in vegas to be the only 2 businesses out of many to be trustworthy. Hell, even my painter, who is a friend of a friend, tried to screw me! I just don't get it. Sorry to ramble, I digress. It is just frustrating to live in that kind of world, especially when my word is everything to me.
 
Hmmmm. That not a good thing to hear.....yeah I already had a little bit of an issue trying to reach them by phone or e mail....he did respond but it had me wondering.....well I can only hope he follows thru.....thats a big dissapoitment if he procrastnates my job.....:icon_sweatdrop:
