That now would be the time for the best product they can deliver be returned to you. If it would have made you happy you would have let everyone know that.

      I am not sure they knew anything about me, but that shouldn't really matter. If I told them what my expectations were, they could have mentioned at the beginning that they were a production shop and I would have been cool with that. You're right though - if they had done a stellar job, I would have sang their praises to the high hills!! It would have been great advertising for them :))

    Hey Faye Hadley I understand being ticked off at a powder coater! I had this happened to me 25yrs ago. But you can over come this! I had a friend wet sand everything up to 1500 sandpaper! You can smooth it and get out those nubs. If not sand blast it off and do it again. There is a company in Texas called dustless blasting can get everything clean and not damage the parts. But try sanding it first 😊

There is NO excuse for putting a new employee on ANY job period, let alone one that is wicked important.

I got screwed on upholstery, so I know what it's like to be disappointed after along wait. And it really is the most difficult thing to strip off. I use rolloc disks and then sandblast it, but that scratches the hell out of everything and then good luck getting all the grit out. At least you found a creative solution! Keep up the great work!

    My dear Faye, Yes, I enjoyed your video. I am a tech head and I do enjoy the technical points you make but I also adore you as the star of the video. So I feel your pain too. I am so so so sorry they took 6wks of your time and probably another 6wks more work to correct everyting. When they said they'd rip up the check, that was your reality check. The money was all that mattered to them. Communication may have been at fault, however; don't they know who you are? I'm more than certain you explained the circumstances, but that phrase was what they were all about. "Make The Sale" we'll take care of the fallout later. Ouch! Please try to stay positive and keep on it. I want to see the whole system work and the numbers and of course the final results. Always yours. ben/ michigan

Not only could I feel the pain in your video but have experienced the same situation myself with a powder coater I knew did quality work and had done for me a lot. Then as you said put the new guy on the only show car parts that I sent to them to have them almost ruined. I'm very sorry for this but I am excited to see the artwork and want to congratulate you on a great build.

    Fuel pulsation damper dampens the fuel pressure oscillations caused by the injectors opening and closing on a long fuel rail, not the the fuel pump, you can check this out for yourself once your up and running by blanking the damper port and logging fuel pressure, then connecting the damper back up, at certain rpms you’ll get resonance inside the rail, which is what drive the oscillations. As a side not, having rubber fuel lines on the pressure side does wonders for damping the oscillations as the entire fuel line acts as an accumulator (which is what the damper is). Happy building!

These are all lessons learned and I have become a more well-rounded and capable technician thanks to their mistakes. I found Danny and Rick and have trained under them because other people messed up. They are hidden blessings! And who knows - maybe I will fall in love with powder coating! :))

    Happened to me also. Chrome shop claimed 150 years of experience. Gave them my parts to chrome. Time Passes. I thought i wasn’t getting my parts back. Finally they called 2.5 months later and my parts were ready. I got the parts back and they skipped some steps as my parts were not even a half a** good chrome job. They did not clean the grime and chromed over it and they didn’t know how to hang one part, so they drilled a hole into it. “You didn’t think about calling me?” They kept my $$$ and then they went out of business. Issues of “self medicating”. If you can learn and do it yourself; you are better off. There is an E company out there can’t remember their name that helps many people with that stuff.

    Hi Faye, what a missed opportunity for the powder coating company , I'm sure that if they’d done an exceptional job they would have got a positive mention and earned a few more customers in the bargain. Sad and dissapointing effort. Have a look at Mark Priesling on youtube , he's done several videos on various methods of metal finishing including powder coating , if he'd done your parts they would have been perfect. Love the videos.

    Oh man, I'm sorry you had to deal with this bullshit, i felt the heartbreak in your voice.😢 I've been there, all that waiting and excitement to get them back, and then end up with empty promises, and lack of effort on their part, it's crushing. I've been turned off projects for months for shit like this, felt like I wasted money and time. But I can say this, every show car will have flaws, but if you don't point them out they will go unnoticed, until you say so. The fuel rail is barely noticeable I wouldn't worry about it, if someone does point out a flaw that small, it's because they're intentionally looking for something to call you out on. as for the intake, once you get your art on it, it's not a problem anymore, don't let it eat you up. Keep wrenching Girl!

    "They did not think I was the customer for them"
    That is a bullshit statement that encompasses incompetence and poor management all in one statement, and simultaneously gaslights the customer. "How dare you complain about the services you received from us!" That shit boils my blood. I'm sure you had choice words off camera as well, but in Faye fashion you smile as you present this disastrous outcome. Except at 8:00, I felt that subdued emotional complex through my fucking phone.
    The engine looks mint btw, despite the "professional" powder coating. Your hard work does not go unnoticed.

    OMG... You got absolutely ripped off by that powder coating shop. $500, over a month, and that's the quality you got? I would be furious. I can literally do better than that in my garage. I used to work in a powder coating factory. I'm so sorry. I can come up with multiple ways to hang that last part, but since I believe it takes crush washers, I would just tape over both sides, hammer lightly around the tape to cut it at the face edges, then poke a wire through the tape and hang it by the wire. This isn't complicated and missing plugs on those small bolt holes is also unacceptable. Anyways, excited for more 7M episodes as always!

    • @FayeHadley
      @FayeHadley  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      YES EXACTLY!!! That's what I was thinking - I definitely don't want coating on the sealing surface, and I could use plugs to protect the inner section while being a perfect place to hang from. These folks are just lazy :(

    Amazing 20 years ago my son came back from Secondary School with similar. It did actually provide protection for six or seven years, pealed and blistered and the metal underneath rotted. Long story, life does get in the way.
    IMO, in one sample, powder coating masks rust, ten ~ twenty years, it's dust.
