Default Where has BIG632 Gone???

Has anyone talked with BIG632 recently?

I and other Forum Members have E-Mailed him with no responses.

I ordered a Polished Billet fuel door for my '82 Vette from him in July 2005 and have not recieved the part. Every time I wrote him and inquired, I would get a response that it was being shipped out next week or there was a problem with production.

I don't mind waiting for a quality bult custom piece, but what gives???

Has anyone else had the same problem?

First off thanks for putting my name on here ,that has real class. For the billet doors there were issues,they got resolved.Sent 3 three out friday,Then I got served for divorce and booted.Doors and my car are now trapped in my garage.Also limited access to my computer with all contact info.Hopefully this gets taken care of immediately but quite frankly is not my first priority.To be honest my wife has lost it and I have two small boys that have been thrown for a loop. 15 years and bang out of nowhere. Now I know what blindsided means.Everyone will get taken care of but I need to get personal business handled first at this time.Nothing like spilling your personal life to the world.Damn this sucks.

Big632, I feel your pain. I went thru this, well 32 years ago, same situation, wife decided she didn't want to be married anymore. We had one baby son and it was tough, but hang in there, things will workout for the best.

Sorry about your troubles and things always have a way of working themselves out.
Take care of what you need to and send the fuel cap when your ducks are in a row.
All I ask is that you keep me abreast of the status from time to time.

Sorry to see that your membership in the 'Kicked in the B@lls Club' was approved. It's a cr@ppy club & the benefits are poor. Been there, done that. Sorry to hear that there's kids involved.

Hang in there Big...I know what you're going through. The parts will wait, take care of the most pressing things first.

I went through the same thing in Oct. of 2005. I came home from work on Oct. 5 and wife and furniture were goners. I guess she got tired of being in 2nd place behind my mistress.....the 74.

Damn man...sorry to hear about this. Same thing happened to me February 2005...all of a sudden I was single again. I'm fortunate that my ex and I both know that our son's well being comes first so we made it a priority to stay friendly with each other. Hang in there, it'll get better

Mike sorry to hear about your personal problem. I just don't get it, I've seen so many women that just decide to one day fly the coupe Pretty scary for everyone envolved. Hope everything works out for you

The first thing I'm gunna do tonight is tell the love of my life, my soul mate, my best friend, my wife of 34 years how much she means to me. How grateful I am that she has put up with all my Bull$hit through these years.
I'm lucky she has a lot of the same interest as I do...yep I'm one fortunate SOB.
632, I can't even imagine what your going through....thank God

Sometimes things just start building up inside until it's too late to fix and it all comes out at once. Communication is a tricky thing. I've never been through a divorce but I've seen the same thing happen in relationships. The sooner you can get past the emotions and get things sorted out (especially as far as the kids are concerned) the better it will be for everyone. I know, that's a hard thing to do at this point.

Good luck,
Chris

Sorry to hear about your wife/family troubles. I'm having some severe medical stuff happening right now as well,which is keeping me from working & paying my bills. But an occasional update on my purchase would be greatly appreciated,& help keep just one of my many concerns off my mind.

i too empathize with you (and hope mine was one that shipped last friday.) dont listen to those who say it will get better. once the lawyers get involved it gets much worse and just when it cant get any worse, it will.. eventually however, you will be ok.

Get notified of new replies

Been through it several times with the same wife. Her strategy was to file a temporary PFA and have the sheriff escort me away with a suitcase of clothes. After the third time, I moved out for good. I could not go on in life knowing that as soon as she had a bug up her rear, my life would take a turn for the worse. Here in Pennsylvania, it's easier for a woman to get a temporary PFA then a 17 year old to buy a pack of smokes at the local Turkey Hill. Several years later she passed away (only 42); for me it was a mixed blessing knowing that I wouldn't have to put up with all the crap she was doing.

Hey Mike sorry to hear about your troubles. If you need anything give me a shout. I went through that about 15 years ago, best thing was no kids were involved. Hang in there it will get better.
