Aluminum frame conversion

Sadly this will be my second attempt on having a frame modified. I was stupid and didnt do enough research on who not to use. MPS put it in me real good. I called him first and and told him I have a 250F frame and he tells me he wouldnt use a 250f frame and he has to check his inventory but he thinks he has a 450f frame. Now I already bought a 250f frame so this kinda sucked im thinking. So he gets back to me 2 days later and sends me pics of the frame he has.He tells me 500$ for the frame, subframe, and tank. 1500$ for the conversion. So i pull the trigger and move forward with the "guy". He wanted the 2000$ up front at first I didnt agree with that so he told me to send half. I wind up sending him a 1200$ deposit. After I sent him the deposit we are talking on the phone and he begins to tell me how so many people on this forum dont like him and there being key board cowboys etc. He says they bust his chops about his work. Ok, now bells start going off in my head. Later that night I start looking at some of the posts that he's talking about. Needless to say when I see the pics of his work my jaw drops. So now Im trying to justify in my head, oh thats 2013 he has to do better fab work by now. Next day I ask him to send me pics of his recent work and he gave me this bullshit story that he doesnt post any pics of his work because someone might try and copy his design. He said if they copy his design and it fails he can get sued lol Now I know this is total bullshit and im starting to get pissed because I know anyone that does nice fab work and uses a computer posts pics of there work. Oh yea he also told me to call GM and ask them to send me a pic of there welds and see what they say to me. So we are going back and forth and he finally sends me this pic of a frame where you cant even see the work that was done. He tells me thats all u get with a smiley face. At that point I wanted to ask for my deposit back but started to see what type of business man he was and felt I didnt want to lose my 1200$ it all together. So I just tell him please please please make sure the welds are really nice. He told me Ill be more then happy with it when its done. Almost three weeks go by and I ask him hows he making out ? He tells me it should be done hopefully next week. Im not a pushy person but he told me he was starting it monday which was 3 days from when I sent the money. Normally I wouldnt of been aggravated because I know shit comes up but I was already pissed because of him not sending pics so I tell him Im done I want my deposit back. He tells me Im not getting my deposit back. (no surprise there) Make a long story short the following week he asks for the balance and I told him I need pics. So after hours of back and forth and he finally sends me a pic of the Y and it looked like absolute shit needless to say. It looked like the welds had multiple babies and then he scotch brite the shit out of it. You can literally see dirt in the weld. I dont weld for a living but I do mig weld when needed and I do know any time u mig or tig weld, the metal better be clean especially aluminum. After telling him how I felt he told me it would be an additonal 250$ for show quality welds.Then he begins to tell me he woudnt of used a 250f frame but thats what I wanted. WHAT?????? I told him he said it was a 450 frame and why would I buy another 250 frame when I have one. He tells me that "WE" decided that because I didnt want to ship the frame lol. Just straight out lying now. I sent him a copy of the text of me saying I bought a 250f frame and want to do the conversion with my 97KX500. He says where does it say in a text that he was gonna give me a 450 frame. I TOLD HIM HE TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT HE HAD A 450 FRAME BUT JUST HAS TO CHECK HIS INVENTORY. He says thats not true. At this point Im just so disgusted. So I ask him to send me pics of everything, subframe exaust mounts, down tubes and head stay. Again it was like pulling teeth but finally after another week and a half goes by he sends the rest of the pics. So that just tells me he wasnt done but of course he was trying to get paid. He did tell me it was 100% done a week and a half ago by the way. The head stay looks like it was done with Home depot flat stock. Just total garbage. So now Im out 1200$ and this jerk off will find some other sucker to buy it. Making double for complete garbage. After all of this he tries to make me feel like Im fucking him lol. I felt like I was on the twilight zone dealing with this "guy"

I think Im gonna go with M-worx conversions for the frame work. That guy does some really nice stuff. Love how he makes billet brackets.

....

It blows my mind because Im a business owner and never in a million yrs would I treat my customers the way George Finelli from MPS Racing did. I told him I was gonna let every forum or facebook page know how he conducts business. It will cost him 10X the money I lost.

Mike I thought about it but dont think I would get anything out of him. I seriously doubt he would care because he laughed when I mentioned it to him. If I was a gambling man Id bet he has bad credit already. If someone has bad credit they could give 2 shits about any judgments. Also he's in Toledo Ohio and Im in Jersey so Im sure that would make it even more of a pain in the ass. Im just gonna keep on sharing my experience over and over again for years to come. Im new to this site, where is the best place to share something like this ???

I really thought about it but just dont have the time. I know for a fact I can do a better job then that butcher

Dow516 Did u weld it yourself also ?
