    subd to hear more sucks some of you guys had to deal with that

    in that second invoice it looked like he was charging you for his mistakes? so you made a deposit for a front kit that he's not going to follow thru with?

    He charged $1500 extra to redo the entire bed area and mount fiberglass then started slowly adding more to it.

    And the front kit has a few pieces cut but it followed another Fab shop where they didnt wrap the lower control arm bushing which is just asking to have someone killed.
