Yep the good ol' brother in law to be. This kid graduated from a local tech school with a degree in auto mechanics and is currently employed at a local chevy dealership. 2 true stories that I wish was BS....

My dad told him to connect the battery charger to my sisters 64 1/2 mustang...his reply..."I dont know how"

Same mustang same idiot....My sister my girlfriend myself and "super duper chevy mechanic boyfriend" drove the car about 10 miles to get ice cream last sunday. I had filled the radiator to brim with antifreeze a couple weeks ago and this is the first time weve driven the car since. When we get to the ice cream place the car is dripping antifreeze and he points it out. I said no big deal its probably out the overflow. Ill check it before we leave. Sure enough thats what it was and his reply..."is that normal?"


This guy is an uber douche!

re:semis

They will try anything once

My local Pepboys (which went out of business) tried to seat my 16.50 tires by leaving them out in the sun to soften the "beads". On 8 ply 33x12.50x16.50 SSRs ?

Yea, whatever!

I gave up on them almost destroying my new blems and took them to a real tire store the next day. If I had a 10K ratchet strap and a real air compressor I would have done it myself.

Lastly the steering has been changed to the crossover design that some 4 wheelers desire

Classic!
The truck itself has a 4 inch suspension lift with a 6 inch body lift.

i can't believe you guys found it, the guy selling this was trying to sell it to me, and to top it off i sold the (crossover) to him cause it was junk, the guy builds crap like this all the time, i'll spin buy his house and snap some pics of his newest stuff

Wow, this was an intensely funny thread to read... I cant believe that idiot in the cage, i worked at les schwab for 2 days when i was taught how to correctly mess with the big rig tires... I also cant believe someone paid 1775 for that hunk of junk truck, i dont think i would have paid 300 for it for the parts and everything else i could have sold off of it... LOL, some people do just need to be slapped, and if that doesnt fix them they should be sent to a deserted island... LOL

332-428 Ford FE Engine Forum: beware of 950hp370 ebay seller ont.canada


Then if your real interested in what kind of tool this guy really is you might want to check out the thread ultimate 385 build in the big block forum on this site. The guy is a real piece of work, if you look at what he claims he is some big engineering genuis and machinest and even has a machine shop and a website promoting it, but when you go to the web site there is a couple things of serious note. it's a web site promoting a machine shop service and his special RD work, yet what is missing? not one single picture of a machine shop, and all the R&D pics are just pics of stock broken parts, and the only pics of his supposed killer evil crew cab were taken at a fair grounds pulling competition, not one of it actually having the turbo's he claims or even being LPG injected or at his house.

Heck this guy is so smart he has figured out how to change the laws of physics.

Basically do business with care as in don't pay for squat till you have the parts in your hands.
His name is James Hettfield (wife- Miranda, son John and 2 teenage daughters) He lives or lived at 4956 Arthur Rd N, Elmira, Ontario...ripped me for $5740. + $1,000's in parts. I lost my lawsuit because it went over 150 days to file. So I am not pursuing this through the courts further.
A short story. On my way to the Kitchener court house I stopped in to his house to see if he still lived there. He had not picked up my papers at the Post Office as of yet. I found a Dodge P/U in the driveway by the house. to cut this short... he had warned me about tresspassing on his rented property. I saw this truck idling in the lane. I decided to walk up to the truck and wait for him and serve him papers. I was almost up to the truck when He came out and quickly got in his truck.
He started backing up the lane to leave. He had left the driver's door open to keep my away from him. I threw the papers in the P/U box.. I said "You've been served" He suddenly accelerated veering off the lane. The open driver's door caught on a tree and folded back against the front fender. I was running like a chicken with my head cut off and missed this.... My witness watched Hettfield continue to back up after hitting the tree and hit another tree square on. Rear bumper became a "V". Tailgate folded in imploding the box sides. I do not think the truck was his and I am not sure how the farmer with the FN1 plates got his 3 foot implement tire out of the box.
He bought a 94 4x4 F-250 crewcab which is his wheels. Everything I have read abot Hettfield is correct.

James Hettfield formerly of Elmira

James Hettfield has moved to a ghost town called Jedbugh in S/E Saskatchewan. 15 miles S/W of Yorton. He has what looks to be a number of buildings. Be aware of any doubtful activity coming from this part of Canada. It looks like there is lots of room to store and strip vehicles for parts and projects.
