Hi Gary, What an asshole! In all of my dealings with you you've been more than fair; actually, much more than fair. And I've always felt grateful that it was you who performed all the work. Moreover, there's an invaluable piece of mind and confidence knowing it was you who did the work. You're a true gear head! (That's a compliment, by the way...). I'd have the loser fly up and then you could take a look. It there are issues or the window settled then fix it at no charge. But I would make sure that he has the money/check and if it's a check then make him go to the bank with you when he comes to get the plane. Otherwise, lock it up in your hanger. My dad did autoglass for over 50 years and has a fantastic reputation for his quality of work. People would come from miles away to have work on their classic and rare cars. He's truly an artisan. And so are you. If you ever need a referal, don't hesitate to give a potential customer my number. Cheers Brother!

Hi Gary,
 
What an asshole!  In all of my dealings with you you've been more than fair; actually, much more than fair. And I've always felt grateful that it was you who performed all the work.  Moreover, there's an invaluable piece of mind and confidence knowing it was you who did the work.  You're a true gear head!  (That's a compliment, by the way...).
 
I'd have the loser fly up and then you could take a look.  It there are issues or the window settled then fix it at no charge.  But I would make sure that he has the money/check and if it's a check then make him go to the bank with you when he comes to get the plane.  Otherwise, lock it up in your hanger.

Cheers Brother!

Update From: teamgrumman@aol.com Thanks for the kudos, everyone. =C2- The latest is that the check is in the mail (not sure how much the check is) . =C2- SC indicated that the plane would be brought back, but didn't say when. =C2 - SC sent pics of the windshield. =C2-It looks like the windshield has settl ed forward into the coving. =C2-Not sure why. =C2-When I removed the old windshield, there was a lot of clay in the area at the front under the loca tion where the 3 screws go in the front. =C2- The windshield was pretty snug when I installed it. =C2-We'll see what hap pens then I get the plane back. =C2-if I get the plane back. -----Original Message----- From: jetinc@comcast.net Sent: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 4:00 pm Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Question: What would you do?
