Since there is no clear way to keep the list and not exclude anyone that is caught in the middle, all of the orders taken since the top ten was closed will be honored at the top ten price. I will accept orders for the grille for the 1000 for the rest of November.

Please forgive me for saying this but I just cannot keep this to myself.

***********************************************

It might just be time for a reality check. I hope not but it's possible.

Have any of you people that are lining up to place orders and send money ever seen ANY product from this vendor?
The pictures look great and the vendor seems nice,,,,BUT,,,,have you lost your mind?

I hope that everything works out well for everyone concerned and that Grace makes a bundle of money from the owners that are hoping for these new products,,,BUT,,,please step back and think about how easy it is for people to get ripped off on the internet, even by vendors that have been in business for years.

Do you not remember the vendors problems that have occured on this site in just the last year?

Just a word of caution that I honestly hope is never needed but I just cannot watch this without saying something. There are owners nearby that should do some firsthand research in my opinion. I hope they find everything to be on the up and up, beautiful products and a well equipped shop.
Please forgive me.

Since you postred a copy of this on two boards now, I will offer the same response I offered on the other....

My actions have been based on general demand and I am not asking that anyone do anything that they are uncomfortable with. My company was started last February after a six year apprenticeship and I am not in the position to order 4000 of stainless steel without materials deposits.

I am an accomplished builder with a solid reputation in the industry. For those who are interested, my coachbuilding experience has been limited to: the Prowler, Viper, Rolls Royce, Bentley, the Ford GTX1 and Ferrari. All of my parts are hand built, and each is given as much time as the others.

Anyone who has any questions may ask, I am working hard to show good faith and be fair to everyone who asks. I have spent a fair amount of time working with several people on the boards.

The best advice that I can give you is that if you don't feel right about it, do not order. Wait and hear what people have to say about it first. Worst case if you wait and order later you will pay a price which has not increased in 6 years, made with more expensive metal and more of it, even while I pay a fee for each part as the design is licensed to me.

Don't be so hard on the lady. Did anyone run a Dun & Bradstreet on you before you started peddling your merchandise? I doubt it!!!!! We're all adults and most of us are business owners; "Caveat Emptor"; there are no guarantees of perfection that I have come across. Even you took ten (10) months to answer an e-mail that I had sent you in 2006!!!!!

We're big boys out here in the hard cruel world, she deserves a chance just as you and I were offered.

When making the Dragon Panels, I got 30 POA members to put
up half to start ($500.00) and final payment when the Panels
were done and shipped

With the 60 sets of Hardtop Pins I shipped them and the POA
members sent me payment after they received them

Both, I believe worked out well for me and the POA Gang..

The panels would have never been made without some money up front..and the trust of that group..LMO

Grace, thanx for stepping up and offering these. Course then mine won't be so unique but in the world of cars nothing good stays unique for long.

Sure it will Marc, yours is a 25 bar with painted top, Grace is doing 29 bar with polished top ............ LOL

No flash just FAST for you, helps keep you under the radar, just have to watch out for Cops on Woodward

Larry, you really didn't have to bring that up did ya?
I've never counted the bars on mine but I sure do like the look of it. It's the best made grill (real craftsmanship) I've seen for a Proweler and since Grace was involved in the making of the original M&L's I'd imaagine they will be of the same quality.
