it was as extreme as throwing it thru their window, but i did call ahead telling them, not asking them to redo it, they told me over the phone that "it was not a hot tank, but a pressure wash booth, which is commonly called a hot tank, in todays society, with EPA", so i walked the 3 miles with the hunk of steel at my side layed it on the counter and the guy "agreed" to but it in the bead blaster they had for only 12 dollars, and the guy helping me sorta agreed with me, so i told him that you can put it in the blaster, you make your salary, and who knows what will happen to the 12 dollars, he smiled and said he would do it first thing tommorow, i guess i will give him credit, because he told me if i wanted to continue buissiness, they would do my heads for a discount, but anyone is doing that now, machine shops are slooooooowwww

i would like to have it, but i would feel bad accepting ti for free, after i got this straight, what do you want for it? cause i would only use it if i found a carb cheap, and if not i'd sell it and i think its wrong to sell something you got free.

Just sent you the shipping quote. Offer still stands. If you end up selling it you will have a little more money to get your project moving along.

Sorry to hear about the burn the shop gave you... Unfortunately, get used to it when dealing with arrogant @$$ mechanics because they do just see you as a kid. I'm 24 and I think that people still look at me like a kid even now and all the meachanics still talk to me with a condascending tone. Too bad.....

Is that before or after you tell them your name is pooty? JK Tell them your money is just as green as Honey Gold's.
