Reply to "Ripped Off - HELP"

x2   Beck in Bremen IA, Vintage Motorcars (Hawaiian Gardens CA), and Intermeccanica in Vancouver BC. The only three vendors worthy of trust and funds...

Many years back when the NJ Replica Car Club had an excess of 100 active members, one member had his dream car being built from a Fiero donor. "Ron" got screwed around for two years then Ron Greg and I did an all night run from NJ to a Sweetwater TN only with a PO Box address with an enclosed trailer. We arrived Sweetwater the Police Station was...closed and wouldn't open for another hour.  Across the street I went to the Vol fire house ( I was a First Aid Squad member in NJ)  A couple of coffee drinking guy there know where the and off we went to the address...So being NJ street smart me thinks "what if the FD guys called ahead" ? and the residence we were going to had firearms. Greg say's got us covered as he pulls the biggest 45 cal I ever saw from under the dash I think,  "I am going to end up on a chain gang" that thought crossed my mind as the local Sheriff was pulling us over. Seems he was a brother in-law of the FD guys and had our best interest and safety in mind. Ron provided the supporting paperwork to the Sheriff and he was willing to take us out in the boonies to the residence but said he could not stay at location (undo show of force) but would drive by a few times just in case until we had Ron's car loaded.  We simply knocked on the door I left the resident know that the Sheriff and I had a talk and we were able to recover Ron's rolling project and numerous cartons of parts....
