Sent MO 7-2-2018 ... Pics of bellhousing
« on: September 19, 2018, 05:43:19 PM »
Got the part

Been machined,welded on but looks useable

Edit: machined area on top is very thin, pic shows where machining broke through

I see why I never received the pics

Would any here send an item as such without allowing the modifications ??

And, what is the butchery for ??



Ricky.

Go to your post office with your MO receipt and tell them you did not receive your parts.  They will tell you how to start a case with the Postmaster General.  Federal crime, the perp can be in deep dodo.

Thanks stangman :-)

Here is some more info:



A forum member here or on the old FE forum was nice enough to email me
He saw I was looking for a bell and gave me this info
The guy I bough tthe bell from was very pleasant to talk to and owns a shop making hot rods
I searched and found him and his brother on the web, they are well known it seems
Not sure what is going on, thought he might be sick or such but he has called and said would ship
This is three times he was going to ship
I just want the part or my money returned

Hey ****
**** called me back and we chatted, he was going to send me pics and what brand the bell housing is
I sent him pics and a text of a 57 Pontiac grill I said I would give him, thought he might have a use for it
Have not heard back yet
Do you remember what brand the bell housing is ??
Regards
Ricky.

The bell is a JPT part. (Jim's Performace Trasmissions)

Hey ***
Here are the pics of the grill I was going to send to ***

Also, is it possible you could buy the C4 to FE bell back and then sell it to me ??
Regards
Ricky.

Hey ****
Sorry to bug you again, have you heard from **** on the bellhousing perhaps ??
He cashed the USPS MO on 7-7-2018
Regards and thanks
Ricky.

I have been out of town for the last week, I should see him in a couple days, have you had contact with him recently?

Hey ***
Have not talked to *** since I told him I would send a MO the next day
Thanks for the info and your time !!
Ricky.

talked to *** tonite, he will ship in next day or so,
..........................................................................................

Hey ***
Thanks much, appreciate it
Regards
Ricky.
.................................................

Hey ***
*** called, a few weeks ago or so, said he lost my address and phone number
He said he did not want me to think I cashed the money order and left the country
So, I gave him my address again and he said the bell was in a box and he would ship it in a few days
I have told him each time i was in no hurry.. that did not mean 6 months or years
*** wanted $300.00 plus shipping ( he said around $27.00 shipping ) I told him that was too cheap
I sent *** a USPS MO for $380.00 which he cashed, I have a copy of the MO with his signature on it
I want the bell or my money back, I gave up trying to call as he never answers.....
Please pass this on
Ricky.

Don't ever tell anyone you aren't in a hurry for a part you are buying.  They will put you off for any and every reason, claiming you said you were "not in a  hurry".  Always ask for asap shipping, and never overpay.  That makes you an easy target for rip-off.  JME.   Post Office is next stop for sure.   Joe-JDC

I have had success appealing to the local Sheriff.  Ask them to visit this guy "just to be sure he is still in business because his phone number isn't working".  The Sheriff there may or may not cooperate but a visit from the Sheriff has prompted action for me twice.

That's just not acceptable, to put it bluntly.
