Sorry I cant reply in the other thread as it was locked before i could do so.
Personally for the record , I have no issues with Kreidos mechanical ablity or workmanship.He helped me out heaps getting the ute back in order where others couldnt.And all at very reasonable price once he knew what I had been through .
Any problems or adjustments afterwards , he bent over backwards to help me out (most at no charge)
As Ian mentioned , we all have issues with various busineses around town for one reason or another and like our cars I guess its just up to our own personal preference who or what is better.

I agree xr8_uteguy. He has given me a hand with a couple of things here and there, and was great, and wanted buggerall for it. Heed seemed genuinely interested in seeing things run right, even if he wasn't fully involved or even not getting paid.
Seems some people thinks he can turn sh1t into strawberry jam, and complain when it doesn't happen :roll:

As long as it looks the part and has some nice mods done to it I am sure we can squeeze it into the DVD. I am only looking for one so who ever is keen. Don't want to do too many otherwise will be hard to find cars after a few movies.

I agree with both of you, he bends over backwards to help you out, I have been there at 4 am when he is working on a car because the owner needs something done asap, that is dedication. Haven't seen any other place do what he is doing.

480 fireball, true american muscle


Hemi 265 all the way though ;)

my cousin in babinda has a Crysler centura with a 480 in it, f**kin crazy wogs i tell ya... helps that my uncle used to work for crysler so they built it in the factory, back in the day my dad used to have 2 chargers

first one was a VH with a hemi 265, triple webber carbs, tuned by an alcoholic old school race car tuner, this thing used to leave GT-Ho fords in the weeds...

then sold that one and bought a CL charger, this thing was the go, was painted deep blood red, ill find some old photos of my old man back in the '70's - 80's,

I am talking to a couple of people on this site who are using this site for all the wrong reasons.... Befor you go slinging off peoples cars know what they have been through befor you start making the big statments. I talk crap about no ones car so why talk crap about mine.

You have a problem with me or any thing revolving my car or who built it is best you talk with us in person and i am sure we can straighten every thing out very quickly.

Yea well most people aren't when others talk crap about their car, he has obviously spent a CRAP LOAD of money on it as you can see from the picture above and I imagine he doesn't like people bagging it out, and neither do I. If you don't like Simon, Kredo who built it or anyone else or their car for that matter please keep it to yourself, it won't be tolerated on the site and if people do post that sort of thing it will be deleted with a yellow card warning.

QSS is about being an enthusiasts, enjoying cars and meeting other enthuiasts, not lets see who has the worst car or lets find the faults. Simons car would probably be one of the most expensive cars (excluding Charles' Porsche) on the site and has spent more money and time than the average car nut, deserves some credit.

My 2 cents worth
lv known Dave since he was an apprentice at broadly ford hes built mates cars Shanes old ute (fryday) and Rays Blown XR8 He does good work and l reckon hes a pretty good helpful guy
Daves good but l let Leigh Holman work on my car and am more than happy with his service to date also
