Don't Buy from SMS!!

[69Chrgr]

Rod from SMS Auto and I have reconciled and worked things out. I'm just as guilty by posting here and Moparts. However, we both agreed that we utilized poor communication. I assumed he knew about general car restoration, and he does not. Rod stated that he does not restore cars and never has. He only does component restoration. I thought that since he rebuilt these boxes, he would know all about what does and does not fit. I'm still appauled at the pirranha style behavior of some(not all) on these websites when someone doesn't know absolutely every single specific of their car. People have exhibited animal like behavior in making personal attacks on me and for some reason my profession. Pretty much why I don't post much or get on here much. Thanks to those who have responded professionally however.

At least it's all sorted now...

 So,.. perhaps a topic title rename is warranted?.. I'm glad it got resolved (although painfully) and i understand how frustrating a Resto. - even a minor or partial one can be...

Professionalism was thrown out the window when you decided to trash the guy on the web without even trying to work things out first.



Nice.

So if we had all jumped on the bandwagon of agreement and went on at great length about how terrible SMS are would we still be animalistic pirranha or instead would that make us a great bunch of fella's?

My honest opinion.

You got lucky.

If you had done me like was done to SMS , I would have taken my part back and told you to take your business elsewhere.

We wanna help ya' out there buddy, we all love Chargers but let me tell ya'...your in for a LOT of frustration restoring an old car so you better get used to it. You'll find most suppliers are reasonable people. Yup you can be screwed on rare occasion but for the  most part everyone is reasonable. But you WILL get the wrong parts, by mistake. You WILL have new parts not fit, even though their new. You WILL find parts don't look exactly like the old ones...it happens.

May I suggest the "golden rule" in the future: "do unto others as you'd have done to you."  It's simple courtesy

Tell ya' what...let me go one step further and share the RIGHT way to "flame" someone, this is from post http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,25659.0.html

I'd like to add that any good automotive paint shop can match your interior paint as well. I had the local paint shop color match some bright blue and put it in arasol cans for my '72. Color match was perfect and was just as good as the MOPAINT I used for my 2003 '70 resto for about 1/2 the price, it's been on there for 5 years now and still good.

On a side note, when I used mopaint in 2003 it matched PERFECTLY, I was very pleased. Then when I did some touch-ups in 2005 with MOPAINT it was off...a lot. The '05 batch was more brown than burnt orange and  was "flat" where it should have been a semi-gloss. I spoke with the owner (Rob?) who apologized and sent another can...which was the same. I called again and sent some photos to explain the problem, but my repeated e-mails/calls were never answered and just I gave up. I will not use MOPAINTs again, local paint shops are just as good and cheaper

Looks like there's not much to add to the original topic...
