72 Chevelle System Fix - Worst install (by a shop) ever - REDO - FINISHED - Page 23 6/17/13


Recommended Posts

Someone post up the shops business number and let SMD ass rape them for that install

Naw man, Meade don't work that way. I think he's eve said that before on this site somewhere. They'll take care of business.

Nice work Steve. I'm loving the kicks! I'm gonna enjoy this buddy! Thanks for sharing.

The car's definitely in good hands now. It always gives us a good feeling to be able to help someone out, especially an old buddy, when they get screwed over. I've fixed plenty of f'd up stuff for friends and family before. But dayuum! I ain't NEVER seen sh!t like that that actually left ANY shop with a bill attached! Much less a 5K bill!

Wow! Just wow!

5000 for that? i wouldn't even that that if it was free.

For and SMD build if i had that type of money sure anyday

but shit like that is why ppl need to ask for customer references before paying a shop so they can follow up with previous customers

Daaaayum! Wtf! They hacked the f*ck out of that dope @$$ chevelle! I'd be hella pissed! 5k?? Must be some expensive @$$ duck tape and butyl. That's some crazy ish! How can the shop be okay with giving him his car back knowing that job is F*cked and to hack up a dope car. He should get every penny back.

A least now he's gettin it done right and big! Lookin sick already Steve! Can't wait for the finish product and how this will look and sound when it's all done...

if you put a DD-1 in your amp terminal and it immediately went up in smoke, i would be concerned.

If you shoved your dick in the terminal and it didn't blow up but a month later it blew up, i STILL WOULDN'T be able to blame your dick.

It just does not make sense at all.

Maybe the 5 grand was to replenish their supply of electrical AND duct tape. They seem to be very fond of those two items for their installs. Sad to see a car with such potential get treated so poorly.

Ill be watching this one Steve, great job so far. I'm curious to see what you do with the amps and the processor ;)

$5,000?! I nearly shit a brick when I read that. What a hackjob, and I'm gonna go ahead and predict you'll be building another box. With an install like that, I can't see their box being built much better.
