Sounds like the bill wasn't a grand more than you agreed on, $500 plus the parts you bought yourself. 5-7hrs.....whew....find me someone that can do an e-module in under a day and you got a job! If it was that straight forward and had no interuptions I'd still bet money against it. Sounds like a few unexpected problems arose(cooler for one) throttle cable being another.
Your took your dissassembled sled to Terra Alps Racing Inc(TARI - go figure stonehands1(really good idea who you are) There's some common sense I pointed out for ya!)
Except it wasn't dissassembled, it had the panels off? And headlight? Takes all of 5 minutes to hold the headlights in one's hand and a snuff of the nose and the side panels are off.....you said you took your stripped down sled to Ted...sorry pal, that ain't stripped. No front end, no motor is stripped down. If you knew about the front cooler, no track or driveaxle would be considered stripped down.....plastic and headlights.....just because the wife thinks it's in a million pieces, certainly does not mean you stripped anything down.
And where are you from? There's a Doo dealer in 100 Mile with two very competent technicians(and that's about it for competence around there) and I can bet you dollars to cents they quoted you 2 Notes for the same job, without the cooler issue. If you even went to a Doo shop and got a quote.
Everyone has their gripes(one poster on this thread and myself have had quite the go around - and I stand true to this day about his denial and "bending of truths" to suit his claim) Ted may have not ordered parts when he should have, maybe they sat on backorder, maybe one part of the order was on backorder and no sense getting 90% of the parts to have them sit on the shelf while the last 10% is what's needed to get the project off the ground. I don't know how it came about, but your fustration is not Ted's fault in this situation.
Case in point - I had a customer yell and scream and jump up and down at me while his wife watched. She was just as pissed off. 2 weeks later the guy came back with a case of beer and apoligized, said his wife might have contributed a bit to his outrage.....he lied to his wife and she demanded he do something about his "story" Not my fault.....hell I coulda told him to take a hike from there on out....instead everytime he came in for belts and oil I smiled as I charged him his AH tax. Never heard a complaint again.....and his wife never showed her face in the shop again either.....perfect by my standards.
Point of it - Not everything is what it first seems.
