The whole lead time is bs, shops need "down payments" and when they say that you are basically paying to finish up the order from a guy thats 2 weeks ahead of you. What Im saying is everyone needs to be patient and realize that your car wont be finished in a day; builds take time and they are very complicated especially when you throw in hard to find parts. SGP does not have the intention to rip people off, some customers dont have patience and expect everything yesterday and start throwing **** around on forums and it only makes things worse. Because I bet the op didnt even talk to mark about his frustrations, and just found some way to beat around the bush to get his car out of the shop then bash him. Everyone always talks about how they are the victims and never talk about what they did to resolve the situation instead its poor me poor me
sad,.. just sad.

Cash flow can be a B1tch, but that's not a customers issue or problem.

We already confirmed (see SGP thread) that Mark has been working at Power Fab. Where did you get the Hennessey info from?

One of Hennessey's turners took some EFI classes at our shop. I will give him a shout and find out.
