where u at in KC? This is complete BS  What shop is it so I can warn my local buddys? If he knows it's a hotrod then why would he put $hit parts in it and then not offer any warranty? Sounds like most of the local places! 816-483-7337 , Is the phone number to A & Reds transmission parts. I would get a hold of them and ask questions!!! They walked me through diagnosing the first tranny I rebuilt! 1600$ to rebuild a 700r-4 , pardon my anger but that is BULL$HIT!!! Sorry if I offended anyone! Takes me after only building 6 th-350's about 1 hour teardown , 45 min inspecting and diagnosing and roughly 3 to 4 hours putting it back togehter! even at 100/hour labor for 6 hours plus 2-300$ in parts would be less than 1000$. This guy is definatly a schiester! It cost me , with trashing the intermediate sprag , new thrust washers and a shift kit less than 200$ in parts for mine. The routine rebuild before the 327 cost me 94$ for parts! Do what you can to get your ride back and be sure to tell everyone not to go near this A$$HOLE! I'm usually not this vulgar but I think of you guys on here as kinda an extended family i never see and nothing is worse then screwing over or messing with family!!!!!!!! E-mail me If you need more info/help!!!!!! I'll do whatever I can to help you!!! GL!!!!!!!!! sorry to post so long.

draxx, i have friends that live in KC & one designed the ford F-150, i also agree with 85ss280h if a guy can't build a tranny right, he shouldn't be building them @ all

You know what would really freak out this shop Owner, is if we all called his shop from all over the U.S. and told him to give Draxx his car back. It is f-d up when people try to pull this sh*t, I have not experienced this personally because I have never had any of my cars in any shop other then my own. But if someone tried to pull this kind of BS on me I would lose it!

I have a question...... this guy put your car together, damaged your gas tank.. you filed suit against him for that and won.. and you took your car back to him??? he's getting even!.. I'd be very concerned what is going to happen to your car while in his possession.. this could very well turn ugly. when you get your car, do not drive it.. have it towed home, or to another shop you trust, and trust well. there is no telling the things that can be done to a car that would make it self destruct without it being associated to this guy's shop.. we've all jokingly mentioned things to do to cars to make them detonate.. well nobody better than a mechanic knows them all too... that's why I do all my own work, or have friends in certain fields that i'm not all that great in help out with stuff that i'm unsure of.. good luck with this situation, but i'd honestly get my car back asap, and have it all checked over before driving it...

Beachbum is right, it sounds like this guy is someone that should not be in business and is very emotional.. people like this tend to carry grudges and he might want to put something in the gastank, crankcase, etc. Also as mentioned, why did you take it back to him after filing a claim against him and winning? Good luck!
