Lol, it took you that long to figure out? I thought it was apparent from my first post. For anyone that cares enough to actually do something about it, I hear he's working in Turlock. I don't know where, but if he is, now is the time to take his ass to court and make them garnish his checks.

From my understanding it is true, he is back in town.

Well if anyone wants to know about Billy's top notch work, he installed a new clutch for my dads car a few years ago and somehow couldn't get the slack out of the cable after putting in a mm/fwa and quadrant. Billy's solution: hose clamp on the clutch fork end of the cable and kinda adjust it out... Awesome work bud! I hope you read this and that you are a hack.

Lol, that shouldn't surprise anyone. When he installed my KB on my 03 Cobra years ago (before he got really bad) he had all the vacuum lines run wrong, installed the KB BAP wrong etc. Jeff S from the bay area caught it before we dynod the car at his shop. From that point on I was always a little leary of his work. Luckily they guy working for him at the time was pretty good and me and him would work on it. I also never let him tune it, I had Shawn from AED tune it.

Lol I know right, I kept bugging my parents after they got it back to dive over and bitch him out, it's a fidanz (sp) 2.1 and imho it's crappy but I'm sure the tob is shot from sitting a 1/2' away from the pressure plate fingers... Oh we'll ill be throwing in a spec stage 2 for them in a few weeks. The other guy you talk about was Mexican or white?

White guy. I know the other guys you are talking about. This guy im talking about was there back in the MSX days. He got screwed over by Billy as well, he was basically working for free as Billy wasn't even paying him on time. This guy im talking about it pretty good but got a caught up in all Billy's BS and ended up looking like the bad guy.

All I know is if he had screwed me out of the type of money that some here lost, I would not let that go, lol trust me.

I hope you all get your vehicles and/or money/parts back, but its a hell of a long shot at this point..... Brutal.

Sorry to say it but if people haven't gotten their stuff/money back yet they probably never will. I say this because this is the second time Billy has screwed people over and I believe all of those people had to eat it also.

Agreed. I can't imagine eating the cost of a motor build.... It's pricey enough doing it
Myself without the cost of labor (other than machine shop of course)

Lol, hope you're not holding you're breath. I don't think he has ever paid anyone back. I know you think I'm hard on him and trust me I do it for a reason. I know him better than a lot of you on here. We were pretty good friends for a few years, we all hung out almost daily and on weekends.

I've said it before he does this stuff because he knows he can. People let him get away with it. If you take him to court he knows a judgement against him means nothing unless you pursue it. Take him to small claims and get a judgement, now that he's supposedly working in Turlock, have his wages attached.

Wow you guys too? He promised me Ocean Front property in Arizona! Dude he threw the Golden Gate in free too!!!

This guy is a total bullshitter. All he ever does is spews lies and meanders off with peoples money. I mean he could probably sell Ice to an Eskimo! That innocent soft spoken guy can never do no harm...those are the ones you need to look out for most. It's Xmas time and I'm sure he is loving the freedom of driving around in his new ride, with y'alls money and giving Sean all the toys he can play with, meanwhile the people he scammed over a year ago are still waiting for a measly penny from what they lost.

I wonder if he is still laughing at how much he took this round or if hes already working on a 3rd (could be 4th for all we know). He just keeps getting away with it cause no one does anything but dances around. I know its easy for me to say since I didnt get scammed personally, but he made a mockery out of peoples trust and passion for their cars! AND GOT AWAY WITH IT!!!
