Reply to "Vintage Motorcars (Vintage Spyders)"

I have to admit my first experience with Vintage wasn't all that great. It was a time thing. The car was promised in 6-9 months and took 15 months. But hey, I got it, and it was done VERY well and I really had no complaints. Of course I was a noob back then and really didn't know what I was doing.

Today is a different story. Both Greg and I have grown up a bit. Plus I have 15 years of communication, ordering parts, consulting on stuff, and just general conversation about life with the man. I have to say, Greg was 20 years old when he started this business, and he is a much older, much wiser man than when I first met him. I believe he is 40 now, and was 25 or so when I got my first car.

I ordered a painted, rolling chassis. I got exactly what I ordered and the paint was close to perfect. I think I paid $1600 for the paint. That was a pittance for what I received.

Of course, all the building, testing, and sorting was done by me as the car didn't turn a wheel until I finished the build.

And I'm doing the same thing again. I'm looking forward to the 15 years of improvements he has made, very similar to what Porsche did and still does with the evolution of their cars.

I have complete confidence in his crew and in Greg himself. I should be taking delivery sometime this summer, and I'm not planning on rushing things one bit. I will build it as I can, and it will be done when it's ready. For sure by Carlisle 2017, if not sooner.

As others have stated, sometimes a client and customer just don't fit. Some people aren't happy with Jake Raby, but I couldn't of had a better experience. I know some people were turned away, as Jake knew he couldn't satisfy them. Perhaps Chazz and Greg just don't mesh well, and that is where the problem lies. 

I don't know where the fault lies, but it takes two. Somewhere in the middle of two stories lies the truth. It is just not for me to say. I wasn't there.

The only thing I know is Greg has never been anything but cordial to me in all the years I have done business with him.

 

Signed, Danny, just patiently waiting for another gorgeous ride.
