'65 Valiant Convertible: Mostly ignored for over 20 years
Awesome save on the '70 charger. As far as the Val vert, the best way would have been to put in writing what you were willing to do/trade etc, burn 2 copies and have the dude and you sign both. Word of mouth sometimes gets lost on people. I cannot count the times that what I have said was misinterpreted. This is why you put it in writing. If you got something in writing like that, it's a contract and locks in both parties to what is expected from each. I know it sucks to do business that way, but unfortunately that's how it is. It's gotten to the point where I will only work on my own broken ****, and nobody else's broken ****. Ya sure father in law is bringing his car over for brakes, but that's family, so in most cases that's different, and he payed me for the cost of the parts. Sometimes even family will try to take advantage of you too though SMH. Glad there was a decent outcome to it. In the end you did the right thing. Honestly I think he just wanted it all gone. It took 4.5 years but everybody is happy in the end, and it sounds like the Val Vert has a new lease on life with a new owner and a brighter future. It's all a win, win, win.
