I've been following this thread and now I have to add another WOW!!! Mike, Jim you guys are awesome.

[VCODE]

I would just like to say that both Mike and Jim have always help me out. This is a nice step for the hobby.
Anytime you guys are in New York, come and see me. I will take you out for lunch or dinner to Little Italy in Da Bronx

What you guys did was huge. You deserve a big pat on the back for helping out a fellow Mopar guy in need!

Really glad folks can see how much Mike and Jim helped me out of a very bad situation ... Well I guess Mike and Jim got to talking again, they felt bad about the whole thing too so and they agreed to cover all the costs to fix my car. So a big shout out to Mike and Jim for stepping up on this and helping me out of a bad spot, and it's important that folks on here know that.

Wow!! That's very generous of them!! I tip my cap to those guys ... if I knew who they were. Problem is ... I don't know who exactly "Mike" and "Jim" are ... but I want to!! I want to put those guys number in my hip-pocket ... off course not to ask for "pro bono" work ... but just in case I ever need their kind of expertise with a difficult problem.

Jim www.jsrestorations.com has been in my "good guy and buddies club" for many years.  I never restore a car without him putting his hands on all my switches before they're put in.  The reason Jim and I got along so well, from the beginning from day one years ago, we both wanted to be a blessing to the people in the hobby and help them out with the talents we have.  We both realize how intimidating it is working on an old MOPAR, it feels good giving back.

Your actions are above and beyond what anyone could possibly expect. We don't see actions like this very often and I'm very impressed. Talk is cheap but actions are what separate the men from the boys.

Hey Sheldon,

I would like to thank you for this last post. I know that Mike Ross had taken some heat on previous threads from some members for his comments. Knowing Mike as I do, I can say they were NOT posted from a point of inflating his ego, but from the frustration that this thread has now been able to peacefully reveal. Previously, the results were locked threads and members that simply did not understand the big picture occurring at that time. I hope that those views held by some members then, have and will have time for healing and change opinions for the better.

I would like to thank Cody, Dave and Neil for enabling Erik to start a new thread that will be showing the road to recovery for his Barracuda. I was and am thrilled that I could do my little sliver in helping Erik through this process. Also, looking forward on this thread to see others step in helping Erik, the type of brake system help discussed so far as an example, is what I believe will help pull us all closer together on this forum.

Wow, just wow! Gestures like that can restore one's faith in humanity again. If there were more people on the planet like Mike and Jim the world would be a better place.

I am glad that Eric can now enjoy this Eye catching beauty! and hope it is a source of pleasure for years to come.

Thx for that Sheldon, after having a long discussion with Erik and the original restorer bailing on the whole deal because it didn't get shipped back to him to fix the issues, Jim and I felt very compelled to do all the work free.  Erik went thru enough, the expense to have his car shipped and returned to my shop and pay for all Jim and our work?  Jim was on the same page as me, it took us about 1 second to get to the same conclusion.  I really have to thank Jim for coming out at 3am, he's a genius electrically, I knew my place, I was his "gofer". I would have gotten where  he took us, it would have taken much longer, that guy is good.

That is why this site was created , to help everyone get the best possible result from their cars , too many people would just give up without the support of the great people here !
Big Thanks to everyone who made a situation that should never have happened in the first place right in the end !!
Big Thanks also for covering costs to repair the problems , anyone reputable knows this will only pay huge dividends , it is far harder to build & keep a good reputation than to lose one !

This is awesome, well done. Hope to see the car one day at a show in the NJ metro area

It is nice to hear that there are folks out there that realize money isn't everything.  Kudos to Mike and Jim, not that they were looking for any recognition, just trying to make a bad situation better.
