Excellent FH builder in Fairbury NE. Schmidt Machine. 402-729-5450 He's done several for me and they worked great. I know it's a little out of your area but worth the trip.

Re: Colorado Flathead Rebuilder
I considered Go Cat but have heard some bad reviews about them. Anyone else in the Rocky Mtn. area?

MON DIEU! Get the Sheriff and the State's Attorney General involved. There are just too many a-holes getting away with this kind of crap. I'm really sorry to hear of your monetary predicament. I was involved in a similar situation with a body shop jerk-off here in Texas about 29 years ago. The only bad habit these scum-wads have is continuing to breathe. And welcome to The 'Barn. DD |

Fellas, if a guy has your motor and parts, no need to give them any money until you have your motor. If a shop asks for money up front, it generally means they have cash flow issues or poor credit. |

I went to college in Colorado but now build flatheads in California. I can help you arrange shipping to H&H Flatheads.

Re: Colorado Flathead Rebuilder
You better file a complaint with your local consumer fraud department and do it now. Consumer Fraud is usually part of your local District Attorney's Office. Guys like this are out and out thieves and people need to stand up and not let them get away with this stuff. I deal with a local speed and machine shop and they have never asked for down payment or money up front. At some point people need to stop being the good guy (victim).

Re: Colorado Flathead Rebuilder
I'm sure nobody needs to tell you just how lucky you are! These stories VERY SELDOM ever turn-out on a positive note. I've been in a similar position many years ago with a body shop, and that situation never turned-out well. I'm certainly happy for you, and we certainly appreciate the follow-up, especially with such a good outcome. And you might ought to go out there and purchase a lotto ticket. Did the guy have any final words worth noting? DD

Your recent results don't justify the behavior of Go Cat (4 years to build an engine), but they do at least give some people some "hope" for a positive conclusion. Let us know how it runs??? |

Hell - send it here to Ohio . . . can have Fowler Engines build it . . . and you'll be very happy with the results. Also, it won't cost you $10,000 to build one. PM me if interested.
