That's the strange part of the story. When I ordered mine i then got a spec sheet then we went went over the spec sheet and came up with and agreed upon build with final costs. At that time 1/2 of the cost was placed as a deposit and months later when it was finished I told them the shipping company and where I wanted to pick it up as I live out in the boonies. At that time final payment was made and my block went out the door. How did these guys end up so much out of money? Did they pay for the total cost BEFORE the work was started??? If so that isn't a good move whether its a roof on your house or a block being made for your car. Johnny doesn't play that game.
