Flat-O help
Around December I sent my Car bell housing out to Gene to have truck "Wings" welded on it for my 56. I got a few e-mails from him telling me it'd be after the New Year before he could work on it. I've emailed & called many times since but got nothing (his phone's voice mail is full). Anybody know what's up? Any of you Oregan FTErs have any contact with Gene or live near Salem?

Gene Benson owns Flat-O. I'm not sure if he visits FTE Doc. That's why I sent him my bell housing to weld the truck wings on it. He was also going to sell me a small parts kit with all the right bolts etc.

Any body out there from or near Salem OR? I'm worried something may have happened.

Success! Finally got ahold of Flat-O's owner Gene. But got bad news, my bell housing can't be modified to fit a truck.
Soooo I have a car Y-block to C4 adapter complete that I can't use and had to buy a Truck Y-Block to C4 adapter. Moral to the story, sometimes Swap Meet buys aren't a bargin

I probably shouldn't say this, but that still does not excuse the fact that the guy went almost six months and told you nothing. I'd certainly make him ship the bellhousing back to me, regardless of whether I could use it or not. There's no excuse for that, IMO. WAY too many people who work for themselves feel like they don't have to answer to anybody.

I agree Shane! The Conversation was very odd. Like he left the ball in my court instead of the other way around. He's sending my bell housing back no charge but it still was odd. I was really hoping to have it in and running already.
