Hack job......MUST SEE
Found this on another forum. This guy paid $2500 to bag his FERD ranger, "parts and labor included" in price. Makes me feel like a pro fabricator compared to this. http://www.dropndrag.com/dnd/viewtop...st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Re: Hack job......MUST SEE
Some local kid wound up scrapping his S10 after a couple of his buddies got "done" bagging and bodydropping it.
He took it to another shop that charged him a couple hundred just to look at it, then told him he needed to buy another truck and start over. |

Re: Hack job......MUST SEE
Wow, I wonder if they can do mine like that?
I saw a truck not quite that bad, but close on a car lot for sale over the summer. The guy asked if I wanted to test drive it, I told him I was scared enough standing next to it.

Re: Hack job......MUST SEE
Wow....Just wow !!!
I read the whole thread, It was a 17/18 year old kid that got ripped. The thread starter (custom shop owner) who is going to straighten that mess out donated his time, The kid floated a $1500 loan (all he could get) and site members along with a vendor donated parts and or time to help the kid out and bag the truck PROPERLY. Kudos to them !

Re: Hack job......MUST SEE
It sucks that it was done by such a horrible company, but at least the guy posting in that thread has a shop, a GOOD shop, and did the right thing by helping him out and re-doing it.

Re: Hack job......MUST SEE
OK, so Joe got screwed. If he does NOT sue in small claims, AND post up picts and info all over, then its going to happen to someone else. This is kinda like "the Emporers New Clothes". Everybody knows its wrong but nobody wants to name names. I am a shop owner, and this crap makes me look bad. We don't need this in our industry.

Re: Hack job......MUST SEE
I don't know... seems to me like Joe decided to bag it himself and when he saw how much he screwed it up, he tried to blame it on some "other company". I just cannot imagine anybody maintaining a business with that kind of work ethic, or at least getting sued out of existence after the first job. That totally looks like a back yard "I can do it myself" novice job to me.

Some kid bags his own truck and thinks he is a truck builder, time to open a shop. Six months later the doors are closed, a few guys get screwed, trucks are pretty much junk, and the kid is back to bagging groceries.

Re: Hack job......MUST SEE
If that's legit the shop that did that should be put out of business. Someone innocent could have been killed from a failure of that junk. That might top other hack jobs I've seen.

Re: Hack job......MUST SEE
I feel so bad for that kid. But he needs to fight back. That is illegal. His truck is not safe, and they made it that way.

Re: Hack job......MUST SEE
I don't like to work on other peoples stuff as it is. But how you can put something like that together and send them down the road like that is criminal. I wouldn't be so offended if the kid did it with some buddies in the back yard. But the fact that he took it to a place that considers itself a business blows me away.
