Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2017 Over 100 emails back and forth? Your a better man then me is all I can say. Mike Up it was over 100, and that is an actual number not an exaggeration. After I sent him his deposit back I got to wondering exactly how many emails we had because I knew it was a ton so I went through and counted. Over a 10 day period there were exactly 101 emails between us. Dave- Rat Fink baby Being a lifelong gearhead/car guy I was always a big fan of Big Daddy.

retrocarp 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2017 That's a beautiful rod. One of these days I'm gonna have to hit you up for a custom build. He is working on one for me right now, and I haven't seen the finished product yet, but I will tell you that he has been really helpful and patient with me and my annoyingly picky needs. LOL You won't go wrong with one of Stevo's rods.....they are awesome pieces . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HAHA I feel bad, I am probably annoying him with all the questions. I should listen to this advice. Well, its my first custom rod and pretty much my pickiness has already been done. I will get out of his way on the next build for sure. LOL Maybe pick the wrap colors, and thats that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Naw not annoying at all bud. You would have to go much further to ever beat the most head bang against a wall customer I have ever had. Last year I had well over 100 plus emails with one customer about a build, and that was before I even laid a single finger on anything to work on with the rod. So I think that guy took the cake for annoying lol. And nope it was not anyone here Those are the clients I hope I'm working for hourly, nothing worse then giving a lower bid and planning to bang a job out and having to spend more time talking to the client then working. I do website design, and this happens to me all the time. I will make a bid on a job for a website and hope to make $20/hour or so. But after all the changes and edits to the site, I end up with $5/hour. HAHA So, next build Steve, I will make it a 2 email build. HAHA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is Art dude, you got a Master working for you. And, I just stole some Jim Croce lyrics. And, steel solicits your feedback and applies it ... Carry On!
