I can relate to your story about getting restored parts only to find out they are junk. The 34 roadster I purchased from a liar out of Iowa had plenty of that stuff. You can look a car over but unless you take it apart you have to believe the guy. He told me that he had restored the chassis but all he did was paint over everything. Nope didn't even remove any of the Iowa dirt or grease. The brake lining was falling off there was nothing left of the shackles. Brake clevis holes were egg shaped. etc etc etc
Goodnight I, getting myself all riled up again.

Don'tcha just hate when that happens? Some incident from years ago that went badly can mess with your head all over again. Wake up in the middle of the night with your heart pounding, thinking about what you should have done or how you should have gotten some justice.

You should learn to forgive, not for him, but for yourself and the pain it causes you.
