any updates on the texparts fiasco? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gmc383 · 04-19-2003, 02:00 AM

I was curious as to whether customers on the board were taken care of or not. I have not heard anything and have seen hide nor hair of custom to classics as of late. Anyone?

gmc383 · 04-20-2003, 01:23 AM

from someone named country boy who said texparts made good to all the boardmembers. Good news maybe.

breeh · 04-20-2003, 01:31 AM

I wouldn't say good news yet as I am still awaiting some resolution and have not heard a word.

gmc383 · 04-20-2003, 05:09 PM

I had a pm relative to this post from a guy with user name country boy. He told me that he had been at a swap meet, and had met james and that all the supposed miscommunications had been fixed, and that James was a great guy who sold great parts. Well, thats all well and good. Until I found out that country boy is actually tex parts!!!!! Just like ebay, one can change their user name and continue to burn people. Geez, you try giving someone the benefit of the doubt.

Class of 69 · 04-20-2003, 05:18 PM

What really sucks, is not knowing what his name is on any given post!! Makes me not want to negotiate on any parts from Texas ! I did buy a steering sector from JPsmith out of Katy TX, but I recognized his posts from before the fiasco with Tex Parts, and I got just what was described in a very timely manner. Thank you Paul!!

Wow, first I've heard about this. I'll stick to the old venders, we have some good ones here.

**BIG ORANGE** · 04-20-2003, 10:30 PM

I havent heard anything and want,and really dont care, as the wife says"LET IT GO"

adamls · 04-20-2003, 10:34 PM

Not all TEXANS are bad. I am sorry that someone from Texas would act in such a way, gives all a bad name, especially since his user name has "tex" in it.

SCOTI · 04-21-2003, 12:02 AM

I noticed that name (country boy) pop up just after all this mess & even PM'd about some plates & stuff but I didn't get a good vibe from the response. I decided not to pursue any deals until I heard more about him.

gmc383 · 04-21-2003, 12:54 AM

If any of you are interested in getting an honest plating job done, email me and I can provide a quote. I sell chrome parts on ebay under the name chevygraveyard. To be honest, I don't really need all the business, but it is appreciated and I am sick of people getting burned. Quality is as nice as I have seen on any show rides. Acid stripped, polished, nickel, copper, chromium plated, and more polishing. thanks

mtdave2 · 04-21-2003, 12:56 AM

ya, i agree.. i ****censored stupid statement****, but they are usualy a honest bunch. This jerk is not the norm, thats for sure.

**nightmare** · 04-21-2003, 09:22 AM

If a pilot has a co-pilot and a conspirator has a co-conspiritor then who does Tex have????

supercheyenne · 04-21-2003, 04:54 PM

Boy, I should really be chiming in on all this Texas hate...... but I'm gonna pass. Longhorn Al should be all over this thread though.

69sixpackbee · 04-21-2003, 05:10 PM

To the contrary...I wish I was BACK in Texas (Uvalde County[Sabinal]is my wifes hometown) I go there every year for vacation. Beats the hell out of this God-forsaken liberal state.. Nothing like summer on the Frio!!I have been here all of my life and just waiting for the train to stop so I can get the hell off!!
Got my eye on a couple of properties. One in Leakey and the other in Concan (not Cancun!) for to stay.
That "Tex" guy gives ALL of the hobbiests a bad name

Unfortunately, I would have to say that Tex has Bo. I keep getting promises to make good but so far it hasn't happened and it has been well over 2 months.

Jackal2k9 · 04-21-2003, 07:24 PM

that joke wasnt cotex was it? that was pretty bad man. lol I was wondering why no one wanted my motor and trans. I'm have no choice but to sell on ebay now... i hate selling on ebay.

69sixpackbee · 04-21-2003, 07:28 PM

You got it, Jackal!!

Jwill41 · 04-21-2003, 09:52 PM

Come on Guys. There are still some of us good guys here in Texas. I have met a lot of people through this 67-72 addiction of mine and all of them have been great folks. Please dont hang us all. I guess there just has to be one of those type every now and then to make us see how good the rest really are.

weasel29gm · 04-22-2003, 09:15 AM

It's a shame that 1 or 2 can spoil the board, but don't say its all guys from Texas. The ones I've dealt with and talked with are upfront folks. This is just like any other place somebody sometime will screw you if they can. So the rest of us need to watch and warn the rest when a deal goes bad. Thats the only way everybody knows whats up. Lets hope all this stuff gets resolved,at least now we know to stay away from certain guys.
