Omg...would you say that to his face? /s

One thing I notice about the show,is that most of the cars he does for customers that won't do the car the way Dan insists that they build it,are sitting out front on the lawn. It looks as if you don't see things his way,you end up being either bought out,or billed out of your car. Tubbing the A12 Superbee was a sin!

if it is an orange super bee the owner of that car is a member of the forum n fact i think he post something about his experience with Dan

Yes I would. I would ask him about the project about cars for disabled vets which has been documented and posted in this thread.
My son was in the Navy and stationed in Norfolk and lived in Suffolk for 15 years. Their reputation wasnt the best.
Like I said...word has it.
You sound like you have a stake in Fantomworks.

No, I don't have any connection to that business. I believe in fairness. "My son was in the Navy...." doesn't mean anything unless he had a first hand experience with Dan Short. Talk is cheap and people are quick to put down legitimate businesses without any PERSONAL experience, usually due to jealousy or just being a ratchet jaw. Either way, comments like the ones you made, without documented proof, are just gossip...JMHO

My son was stationed in Norfolk where Fantomworks is for 15 years. He knew a lot of people there. Car guys. Word gets around.
Why havent you challenged anyone else who made similar comments? Hmm? Especially the poster who said they had seen their work.
Jealousy? Dont flatter yourself. And keep the personal comments to yourself. Ever heard the best advertisement is word of mouth? So is the worst. Or is that just gossip?
If someone gets a raw deal in the car bidness word gets around. Fast.

You made my point. Bring on the guy who got the raw deal. I'll listen to him and draw my own conclusion. I guess no-one has ever called you out on your gossip. Good lesson there...

Well, I grew up in the Williamsburg area in Virginia......Based on friends experiences and people I have known to deal with Dan. All of their experiences were positive.....

Dan is a very nice guy in person and what you see on TV is antics for TV.......

 

[Slap Stick]

What you just said isnt personal experience so that is just gossip. Right?
I get it now...my son's friends experiences are gossip. Your friends experiences are fact. I get it now.

Ive watched Fantom many times. Im sure much is scripted as most of these shows are. I was wondering has anyone actually been there in person and has actually saw any of the cars they restore?

The 70 Chrysler 300 Hurst edition car was at Carlisle this year for the Hurst show. I looked it over very good and did not see anything that turned me off. Very good looking restoration. :2cents:

Correct me if I’m wrong, there were several episodes where they Dan Short said “cut up freshly painted cars”. Parts should be fitted before paint.

If your referring to the green pickup it was painted when they got it.
If you go to the BBB website in Maryland for complaints. Anyone in business is going to have some complaints, question are they going to solve them.

Well, I think this is a good point for me to jump ship. Again, unless you are willing to have thousands of "mechanics", "painters", "welders", etc. (all, of course who think they can do it better) Monday morning quarterbacking every move you and all your employees make, I don't think it's fair to repeat unsubstantiated rumors; That's the only point I'm trying to make. Obviously I'm not getting it across, so I'll quit trying.

I've seen/heard every show, my eyes/ears don't lie.

Nope there's six cars Dan told his body guys to cut into the fresh paint, they both looked at each other when Dan said it.

Cars that they had Dan work on......They would be called a reference......not gossip....

Did I state something in relation to your sons friend comment? Nope.......I am stating people I know that had professional quality work done by Dan......

 

[Slap Stick]

And you are referring not to personal experience but others experience just as my son. So why is what you say fact and what my son said gossip?
If you didnt have double standards you would have no standards.

Can you please show me where I stated something about your son's comment? Why are you so elusive of that?

As I previously stated and I will repeat it....I had several friends that had work done at Dan's shop and got quality work and professional service. Furthermore, these were the same people that took those same cars to our local hangouts....Seen in person and made my own assessment and they got quality work done.....

 

[Slap Stick]

Sorry...I was referring to coloradodave who cut and ran. My mistake.
