My take on this for what it's worth

JrHaus, from reading everyone's posts multiple times, I don't believe DE is going to IPS because she didn't think you were not capable of doing the mods to her car. It's a question of not imposing herself on you or anyone else in the SW Camaro Group, especially when you are already busy restoring your car. Now if you offered to do the mods and she declined and then went to IPS, then maybe you have the right to feel dissed. But for her to assume that from the last SW Camaro Mod Day on, she can bring her car to you or anyone else in our group, for every little thing she wants done, would be rude which is what she was trying to convey in her posts. I think you saw it as a diss to your abilities. Which is where the misunderstanding lies. I truly believe she was trying to be courteous and respectful and she got put down for it. Now I could be wrong about this. It wouldn't be the first time.

And I will add the ISPJeff's comments about the numerous times he and other owners who have had customers bring in cars they tried to work on was not directed at you but at DE. In other words, he has seen countless examples of people like DE, who have little or no experience working on cars, try to do the work themselves, only to have their cars fixed at a professional shop. You took it as a diss to your abilities which was not the intention. Again, if I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will point it out...

DarthEmma seems like a great gal and JrHaus, you a great guy. I just hate to see any hard feelings over misunderstandings.
