[DMCForum] 3299 is going to Grady's



You read right.
Given the fact that I am now in my fourth garage - and that I have driven
my car 6 miles since Nov 11th and I have already put almost $5000 in parts
and labor into this car, I am going to send it to Rob and get the rest
done right.

I am very happy about the work that has been done as is, but I can only
wonder how much more trouble is lurking under that SS body.  I am going to
set a limit as to how much in dollars I want done (probably around $7000
or so), and I'm going to ask him to fix everything that could be/is fatal
to that car.  I'm talking that I'm ready to replace the entire fuel
system, cooling system - whatever it takes to get this car to be a safe
and dependable WEEKEND car.  I figure the shipping cost will be far
outweighed by the costs I could entail to have local mechanics try to fix
and order parts that may not be necessary. 

Does anyone have any experience as far as a job of this magnitude with
Grady?  What is the kind of turnaround time needed for a job of this
magnitude?  I have no problem with waiting until next May or even longer -
his work sounds like it's far worth the waiting time.  I have seen before
and after pictures of cars he has worked on, and to say the least, I have
been in complete awe just looking at the quality of his work.  Does anyone
have any advice/thoughts/stories/proof as to how long it takes to get a
car back from him?  With the kind of work I'm looking at having done to
this car, I really wouldn't be surprised if I didn't see my car for months
;).

One other thing...I am going to be speaking with CarFax soon.  Given the
fact that the spedometer was shot when I got this car, my report reads the
same number of miles in 1995 as I see on the odometer today.  I know given
that since it's a DeLorean, CarFax will probably try to read through the
lines.  Bottom line is - I have mileage fraud.  I have receipts almost in
excess of $5000+.  There needs to be some form of compensation.  Anyone
think I may have a case there?
