I don't really have any questions for you Rich but I did review all of the posts in your profile. It appears your issue was more with AER's pricing and what work you were expecting. I realize Wayne works for AER but he has his own operation which is why I titled the post "Schicantek Performance" rather than AER.

Wayne and I sat down and I gave Wayne a list of exactly what machine work I wanted him to do. I asked that he spend some time with it, develop an estimate and we would agree on the price and timeframe. We talked about my expectation was that Wayne would get paid for his work and I would get the work I paid for. Simple enough but seems like many builders can't manage to get it right. Wayne did and came in exactly on budget and exactly on time. If there was a problem with something, we talked over the phone and got it worked out.

I reqret your experience was unsatisfactory and I certainly did not intend this posting to be a rip on Wayne session. I wanted to share my experience as good builders that know there way around a Pontiac are not easy to find around here.

I assemble and mic out all of my own motors and only had Wayne do specific machine work. There was no "eve balling" or anything like that involved. Wayne was told what tolerences I would accept and I checked them before signing off. I'm completely satisfied but would share in your disappointment if my specs were that far off.
