There are ALWAYS bumps in the road. The company above is in the papers currently waiting for "Chips" for vehicles and have been for months. Timelines get delayed.
But it seems you want your timeline to be exactly what it was originally with no flexibility in the agreement and you want all of your money and the parts and work basically for free. It doesn't work that way.
My suggestion is to show some flexibility in the dealings with the supplier (any supplier for that matter) and work out the issue in the best way possible that is acceptable for both parties. Threats basically do nothing to resolve the situation.

I am really surprised that you feel you should have all of your money back, and the parts purchased with that money. Unless you have receipts showing that you bought the parts separate from the Luhn Transaction, you get one or the other, typically.
The other comment is EVERYONE, big companies and small companies have suffered from the COVID bs. And it sounds like you have no allowance for that in your original timeline on when the engine was to be shipped to you.

Hi Tom,
You know me a little. We’ve talked before on the phone. you helped me spec out all the parts for this build. I followed your advice to a t.
I never said or hinted to wanting the parts and the money that would be like someone keeping the parts you purchased from them and not refunding the money you paid for those parts.
All I want is my money or the parts not both. A simple answer to that question and I would have never posted anything. But still I have no answer.
I fine with delays and unforeseen circumstances but 11 months past the first date I was told and he still didn’t have the crank bearings or lifter bushings after I was told over a year ago they were with my parts waiting for assembly. I still was respectful and didn’t want any hard feelings between us, he’s the one how said “I can’t box up your parts and ship them back to you if you’d like” I said “ I think that’s best yes please do” was I wrong ? I built the whole car 25.3 chassis and all in less time then it took to have a block fully machined.
I’d love to end this but he blocked my number and won’t answer my emails and that is not acceptable. this isn’t pocket change and I need that money to move forward.
I’m already a pretzel how much more flexible can I get.
