Just a few questions;
As I now understand it you tried to work with him, even offering his money back with free pickup? Yet he posted here that you did none of that, so some of us suggested he consult legal advise to resolve. Which he claimed numerous reasons why he could not, while in reality he could not because he had refused the ultimate resolution. Was he expecting to pay nothing and keep the product too?
Seems to me the wrong people may be apologizing?

Sorry Mr. Taylor, don't mean to get you any deeper into this mess, and you are a gentleman! I'm sure a lot of good people from here will visit your shop and tell us the true findings.

You really need to stay out of conversations that you don't fully understand. That's not how the situation went!

As for offering to buy the car back, what a joke! Tim never had the money to do that. If a company can't refund something less than $2,000 for a returned grille, then they sure can't take a whole car back and return me the $29,000 that I paid for the roller and various parts.

Here's how it really went:

I returned the first grille to Tim (at my expense), soon after I got the car and never got a dime back, after several months. He did write me to apologize, but said money was tight. I told Tim that I'd rather have a properly fitting grille, than a refund of money. Tim then sent me the "new and improved" second grille and although it fit better, the construction was total junk - chrome falling off and broken welds. When I complained about that grille, that's when he told me that I would NOT get anything better from him.

I'd gladly give the car back today, including the leaking gas tank, the brake lines that didn't fit and the radiator with hose fittings on the wrong side for the LS3 that I told him I was using. I think the total was about $29,000.

Just getting those crappy doors fixed so they have door latches in the same location on both sides, power door latches, power windows that work and something to attach window weather stripping to is worth a few thousand.

The chassis is all set up for an LS motor and you can actually remove the transmission from the car without having to remove the front of the body and the motor first - big improvement over what I received. About a hundred hours working on the front suspension has it working properly too.
