He was dying of cancer,went to get his stuff back & the guy had sold his nice heads & rocker boxes & couldn't find replacements.Comment

Ronnie, you have the right to get a full accounting of where you're at with work done, and money spent. At this point you should pull the plug and become the contractor and farm the remaining work out to specialists and talent found via the AMCA. I do all my own work for this very reason and hate to let anything out of my possession. People have good intentions but often take on more work than they can handle, or have an unpredictable life event that changes their ability to complete their commitment. Hope it works out for you as I know that helpless feeling.Eric Smith

Your question is evasive Ronnie. So, someone took your 50K D.P. and explained that it would take a decade to finish a restoration on a completely original Knucklehead?Originally posted by ronniecox View Post
Also, no harm in my laugh box response, it was only a ploy to get a trigger on a response. Besides, it only takes me a few moments to find this sTuFf on a computer. As far as smarts go, i would never give 50K up front with a 10 year span to do what could be done in a fraction of that time frame & ca$H. But, that's just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Hopefully this is just a fact finding quest and not the beginning of a long drawn out recovery. Which is it Ronnie?Robbie Knight Amca #2736Comment

Please do not open this contest upon this forum, Ronnie,...
Unless your 'vendor' is here to defend himself.
Otherwise, we have enough mutual mistrust already, in an industry that started out as a friendly "hobby".

My point, M.A.D.,...
Is the money ruined it.
(I guess you had to be there, when it was still a poor boy thing,)

Oh i remember those daze Cotten. Don't let my AMCA Membership # fool Ya'. I joined in the early 1970's. But unfortunately, the AMCA drops your status when You don't re~up.

P.S. Not only a poor boy thing, but often frowned, discriminated & looked down upon.

Had to laugh at the quote, JoJo. But seriously, I think the word was "gorilla", as in ape, not "guerilla", as in terrorist or freedom fighter!Comment
