Here's more on my story . . .
My order with APT was placed 7/28/2013 and paid in full - almost $3000 worth of parts.
- 2 weeks later I called to see where the parts were ( they're waiting on my transmission ) Uh, remember it's in my garage ( they didn't say I had to send it )
- So I pack it up, take it to UPS - they provided a RMA (?) and off it went to APT
- NOTE: they remove the tail housing from the trans and modify it so it'll fit into the B-body, no tunnel mods
- the machinist was dealing with cancer in the family and my trans mods were not able to get done ( send me my other parts - No, we'll do it all in one shipping )
- 6 months later I'm told parts shipping - take 1/2 day off work - no parts get shipped ( ? ? ? )
- call the next day, they found parts on the work bench with my name, so they called the UPS shipment back to put parts back in the trans ( that's a good thing )
- couple days later, it's shipping - take another 1/2 day off work to get my parts - no parts get shipped ( ? ? ? )
- call the next day, UPS destroyed the shipping box, the trans came out of the box, UPS returned it to APT ( no call to let me know )
- couple days later, the parts are shipping - boxes show up at the house ( YAY - 6 months later ) But 1/2 of the parts are missing.
- pedal assembly pic sent by APT shows full assembly ( get 2 pedals and a bracket )
- finally get a box shipped - got my flywheel
- finally get another box shipped - get my bell housing shipped
- after 9 months, I finally return the pedal assembly for a full refund and order pedal assembly from Brewers Performance and get most of my parts.
- refund took a while to post, bank changed my credit card and they had the old number on file - easily fixed !
- after all the delays, I'm told they're going to ship me a Wilwood master cylinder to make up for all the delays ( no sign of it yet - I'm hopeful )
- today is 6/11/2014, and I'm still waiting for shipment of my White Lightning shifter
- I'm still owed a drive shaft, but I'll need to get the engine in and rear end in place to get them a measurement
The White Lightning shifter was leaking, so they were working of fixing the leaking - that's fine, it's not holding up my progress even though it's been almost 11 months.
I've made a great new friend, that I've talked on the phone with weekly for almost a full year - things happen - we'll work our way through them, one at a time.
They have matched prices, and done a number of things to help me out and compensate me for the delays, and if I do get the Wilwood MC, that would be awesome !
As I said, anything that "could" go wrong . . . it did . . . but I worked with my salesman and we're getting them all worked out ! !
