<div>Just to give us some background, what was Don supposed to do for the original estimate of $36K? That's a significant amount of money.</div>

Subject: [DeTomaso] Don Byars and what he did to me and my Pantera<br>
<br>
<div id=AOLMsgPart_3_a50bb867-410a-47d0-9217-e6cadea4b31d>
<div style="WORD-WRAP: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space" class=aolReplacedBody>To All Pantera Owners Worldwide,
<div><br>
<div>You should all ready this, so this does not happen to you. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As of now Don Byars refuses to help me or repair any of the damage he did to my Pantera after paying him $42,000 over the last two years! It is shameful behaviour!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mike Drew was going to feature my car in Profiles. Sorry but I would rather you did not. Don deserves no advertising.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Read below how Don held my car as ransom, extorted $6000 more dollars out of me, and made me sign a waiver releasing him of all warranty for work he completed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now I am in another country, I have dumped my car on a friend to finish, and I am out of a lot of cash.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I guess he did not realise that I have 300+ Pantera friends worldwide on Facebook. I guess he will soon.</div>

His response was “that’s all you want to buy?” to which I said yes. He then sighed and reluctantly took my order. Upon receipt, the part was a poorly reproduced version of the original part, the art work was off-center and after attempting to “fix” it myself, I threw it in the trash. So my only experience with him was he was uninterested in my business and the product he sold and represented me was shit. So no, I will not call him ever again because to me, that behavior speaks to total lack of INTEGRITY AND ETHICS. I hope the $12,000 you bought from him were better than my $25. part.</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 9pt"></SPAN></div>
