There are a lot of Greg Mushro (http://www.vintageoffroad.com) threads but I'll post this for completeness:
I read them all before I started working with him on a quick-turn, eight-week project. Several friends warned me to reconsider, but I liked Greg and thought the negative feedback was just misaligned expectations. So, I wrote a very good contract that detailed the timeline/workmanship/deliverables, signed and countersigned, then paid upfront so Greg could order parts and get going.
Two years and $30K later I had to get an attorney involved just to get the cruiser back, unfinished. We ripped out and re-did most of it. Some of the issues were astonishing. We fixed everything locally and now have a gem, no thanks to Greg.
Greg looks for people who are not price sensitive, takes in the cash, then does what Greg does. The feedback is real.
