not that it matters, since we all know Jason's always right.

And why cop the smart attitude towards it all and say that he's always right?
No, nobody is always right... However, I don't know how many different people have worked through or with him on various projects, so i'd at least feel that he should have the right to having stuff dealt with one on one, not with a bunch of people chiming in on what they thing is the just thing to do....

In any case, I agree with the latter part.... Let him deal with this when he gets home....

On an lighter note: my '7 is getting new paint out of the colision with the truck from 2 weeks ago. I'll probably end up kicking in a little, but will get the body totally worked over, new paint, and clear coat.
I got a price of $1,100 for a new Robbins top (installed) from G&S Upholstery in Millersville, and price of $1,200 for both front seats (my leather's TRASHED). I'm thinking about charcoal denim instead of leather. Those sound like decent prices to me - any comments?
You guys will probably have to wait until Fudds in Dec to see it, but I should have all that done by then...

that would be pretty stupid to do.
just my $.02

FURTHERMORE, who in their right mind starts doing things to something they haven't yet paid for?
if it's not paid for, isn't that essentially a loan?

And I "wasnt speeking for myself" because I was out of the house. Who said I was always right? Ken's proven me wrong a few times, we all know that :-p

The deal went sour because you decided you didnt want the car. I never sold it out from under you, I simply noticed that you had not even attempted to contact me on the matter in two months, and then commented that _IF_ you decided you didnt want it, I might sell it as a shell.

Point is, bottom line, Cal sold me an item, payment was agreed to be made at the next Fudds meet, it hasnt come to be that time yet. This would all make sense if I had missed the payment, but I didnt.
BOTTOM LINE:
HE REFUSED PAYMENT AT THAT DATE AND SAID IT WAS OK TO PAY IT LATER.

Actually: Correction, I recieved no PM from Cal. For some reason I thought I did, but I just checked my inbox and I can't find it. The only PM I have recieved from him on the subject was today.
VAX: You work on some awesome stuff! Makes me wish I got a college degree :p
Did you check aabestco.com for top prices? You should go german cloth or something. I think getting another Vynal top is a bad idea.

Things don't work that way. If you didn't tell the guy from Olympus Auto to **** off right then and there, I don't know why.
I think Pele was making fun of this situation between me and Cal.
I seriously doubt that really happend :p

Vax that is not a good price on the top. You can order a better top from AA best co $400 ( best on the market in 10 custom colors) and installed by a shop in Laurel, MD $400 and save some pocket change. I just had this done about 8 months ago and mine came out great. And on the seats they sound a little on the high side aswell. After all they are just recovering the frame using the old leather as the template and replacing the foam.
Not exactly "custom" but they are trying to charge you custom prices. PM me if you need the number to the shop in Laurel.

Well, glad all that misunderstanding was taken care of, although I wish people didn't have to go into exodus about it... Just forgive and forget about it.....
I really don't think this little bout is anything worthwhile, since there's no clique mentality OR any dormant drama that I know about here, at least....
Let's just get along, ok kids? When it comes to business, lay out the terms IN FULL before agreeing to anything if it's really that much of an important matter....
It's not a hard concept to grasp at all....
