How could I help? I'm all for stopping in with guns a-blazing, throwing people through windows and punching out little helpers.

Or

Want me to stop and see if they are still in business. ..or more importantly, if a business existed.

There's no doubt in my mind a real business exists. I just think this tool, Mike Sloan, is a lazy lying sack of shit.

As far as you going and confronting him, I can't ask you to do that.. That would have to be your call but would be much appreciated and awesome!

Let me know what you decide to do in case you need more info before showing up at his shop!

I will try and stop by and "see if this deal is still on", playing stupid and just say I have friends in the camaro club that read about it.. or blah blah blah. I know it's the 1st this weekend, but at least I will see what this place looks like. Or shoot me some PM info. I don't mind telling him how close we are and just wanted to follow up for you. I'm always nice when things start out. I don't want to do anything that would make it more difficult for you to get your product or money back.

I don't think I would be too intimidating, a pic of me from this past Oct competing. But if push comes to shove, I may be a little too excited

Ive been there and bought LS3 cans, SS suspension off of him for $100. Its over in ameriplex off of kentucky. Hes a nice guy but lazy as can be. If your dealing woth him just stop in and do all business then. He is horrible calling back. I do know for a fact the wheels he sells he did not have yet. He sells sets while the car is shipping i guess. Hes also willing to swap straight up for v6 rear brakes in exchange for the SS sets and their guys do the swap free. Good deals can be had there but id only do it in person based on his call back tendencies.

Sorry if you got hosed man.

Probably are not selling as many trans ams as he had hoped. Every trans am gets the backs ss brakes pulled due to their rims not clearing the calipers. I havent been there since may. They sell new take off ss wheels/tires for $1050 too if i remember correctly. Maybe ill cruise by there during lunch one day and see whats going on. The trans am was neat but for the money the lingenfelter is better looking. The ebay name the business uses switched since may too i think after someone was mad about shipping times on the wheels (i think).

I have a family history with the Pontiac Trans Am and was looking into buying a Camaro and turning into the Trans Am. Looking at the companies and came accross this Gear Head Street Customs, then saw this post. So what ever happened to this guy and company???? It's like they are gone. They had some big write ups in 2010 in some major mags and then poof, gone. I also saw this post on another site......

"""""To whom it may concern,
I represent the Florida corporation TRANSAMERICANMUSCLE.
We would like to put potential customers on notice that another corporation "Street Warrior Designs" out of Pompano Beach, Florida is currently defaming our brand and is operating behind the scenes as Gear Head Street Customs. Mr. Michael Sloan and Gear Head Street Customs (now Street Warrior Designs and registered under his daughter-in-laws name "Shauna Zotta") has a lengthy criminal record which I can provide via email in case you are considering doing business with them. He has gone as far as stealing our content off of the internet,bashing our brand for no apparent reason, and does not have the ability,licenses,or fiberglass parts, to produce the products that he offers. TRANSAMERICANMUSCLE is the exclusive provider of the vehicle and would be happy to invite anyone to visit our factory or test drive our vehicles at any time. We regret having to take this action but need to set the record straight out of principal alone. Thank you for your understanding and we welcome the chance to provide any legal documentation stating all claims made in this report. -Counsel for TransAmericanMuscle
legal@transamericanmuscle.com"""""


Can anyone tell me what happened, has anyone seen this guy or company lately?

Damon
