Now i agree with you. He told me he shipped them out, then tell me they will go out last week. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt but now im annoyed.

Yeah, it sure would be nice if he could get his **** together. Im waiting on 3 myself. What upsets me the most is that he has time to list all these on eBay and sell them, yet he doesnt even have ours done in the first place.
I dont want my money back, I want the damn badges. At LEAST let us know whats going on. I dont care how busy you are, you still can take 10min to contact your customers.
Don't sweat it, I'm sure he will return shortly and let you know what is going on. He is a great guy, he's probly just swamped. Does'nt he have a web site as well?
FIERO, did you ever make the shield emblems? I never got any email from you a while back and I got mad a PFF and was'nt on for a while.

I think I have his correct number, I called a little bit ago but no answer I will try tomarrow. I'm sure he is working like crazy that was a big order and takes some time to fill it. Now don't trash me, I just know how long it takes to do something like this. Sure he should have updated us with more realistic time frames and when he was in trouble should have restated new more accurate dates and always keep your customers informed... Myself I would have fronted all the funds myself and sold them as my inventory was there... but that's just me. He has the weekend so hopefully Andrew and his family are well and he working hard to get the product out to us, as I hear his work is great and looking forward to checking it out... Vince

II tried to install them on my car but it's pretty hard to find the right glue . I tried RTV ( BLACK) to install it on my gas door but no it doesn't hold much . Tried contact glue no way . Tried crazy glue to put it on my sunroof glass didn't hold , and for all of these sites seems like you have to bend the pegasus to have the right shape Tried goop either Only thing is that i can't find any clear RTV around here to try . And with the crazy glue i almost scraped my gas door paint cause i tried it there too Had to take it out with thinner and compound the door a few shots . Anybody has idea what kind of glue i can use ? Mine is the separated one . And be very careful when manipulating them they are very easy to scrath .

I haven't seen them yet but I would try 3M double sided tape for exterior. I use it all the time to install emblems and so does the automotive industry to install factory emblems on cars. Make sure you clean the area on the car and the back of the emblem with a prep solvent like 3M before you apply the tape and make sure you take the time to put it on straight as it will stick as good as the factory emblems on all the cars on the road today. You will need to rewax the area you cleaned with the prep sol as it is a dewaxer....Vince
Oh one note, apply the tape to the back of the emblem and trim it with an x-acto knife before you install it to the car...

That is the way I would go, if it still keeps coming off you might have too much residue (wax/oil) still on there, the cleaner solvent he mentioned above should work, I use acetone but be very careful that stuff eats and re-wax the parts you dont cover.
if you never want it to be removed, could try 2 part plastic epoxy adhesive.

Well I called a few times over the weekend with no luck and no voicemail. Hope all ok with him... Who knows I may have an old or wrong number, but I did checked with white pages online and it still shows a good number for him.
I hate to say it but this has happened a few to many times. I dont understand why he disapears and gets flak for it, apoligizes and everyone forgives him then he repeats it all over again. I honestly thought this time he wouldnt do this again. His red bar has almost gotten him banned then he tells a story and it goes green again. Rick

Hey guys, I can't sleep over this so here goes. I got hit with the bug a second time. I think yesterday was the worst of it. I tried every cold/sinus remedy that I could find and nothing was touching it. I don't have any health insurance, but I don't think that would help as my daughter does and a friend of the family who had gotten probably the same thing had gone to the Dr's and didn't get any anti-biotics- she was told just to ride it out. It really sucked. I've been miserable, and the last thing I wanted to do was read "what a jerk" postings, or post another excuse why it's been taking so long. Talking like Peter Brady when he went through his "change" was interesting- at least my daughter thought it was funny. The garage I work in is chilly and my head has been killing me. You have no idea how guilty I've been feeling about this. I'm not looking for sympathy, no forgiveness, I just want to get this taken care of. I have sent responses to a few others who are interested in these that I would not take any other orders until the people that I owe these to are taken care of, for what ever that's worth. I have all the stuff I need to finish making these and expect that I'll start later today to get these going again. I haven't bailed on you, I've just been feeling like crap. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or just want to let me have it at 607-239-6295.
AutoTech, yours went out with the others that my wife took to the post office but she didn't know to have them sent as a signed for delivery. If you haven't received yours yet, I'll make sure that you are taken care of, especially because they weren't sent as you had asked. I have no problem taking responsibility for making sure that you get them the way you had asked for them to be sent. I had plenty of extras made up with this order, so polishing others won't be a problem.

I haven't sent any out yet but.... I did start working on them today. I've got some wings done and the bodies will be started tomorrow. I have to admit that I didn't work very hard on them today, the bending over part kinda got to me. I wish I knew how to express how I feel about everyone here, but there's no time for that right now- first priority is to get these things finished...

yesterday I felt like I had strep throat, got an appt to the doctors and its a bad sinus infection. she proscribed antibotic biaxon(sp?) cuz I got the generic version called clarithromycin. and to clear up the mucus she recommended Mucinex D maximum strength, thats one of the me-th things you have to take the card upto the pharmacy and they make you pull out your DR lisence (federal law now?) and you get the stuff, works better than the other sinus crap i've had before. can barely stand up straight right now and boss got pissed when I called off. I'd rather be working than have this crap
