Tod refunded my deposit on an aluminum block even though I didn't ask for it back. He unilaterally sent it back. I feared that meant the project was dead but he said no. He said he saw on some forum that I was dissatisfied with the delivery delay and so was refunding my money. I never posted anything like that and asked where he saw it but he couldn't remember. I was one of the early ones in the queue. Maybe it got re-routed to someone more important?

Really?
Does this ring any bells?

No that is an all aftermarket engine using Tod Buttermore's blocks
(still not shipping to those of us that put a deposit down 3+ years ago).
Think 5 figure price out-the-door.

If people don't like that I have 2 years worth of work back-logged and no help of any sort and they choose to publicly express displeasure then they shouldn't be suprised if I end their displeasure now, right? I have been completely open and honest about the problems I have encountered and yet the plain and simple English I have spoken seems above and beyond the capacity of some to understand.
I have given everyone who has emailed me detailed explanations of what is going on at the time. I am not doing that anymore on the Cleveland forum because the last thread had posts deleted (not even mine) and then was locked. If people want to know something they can email me.
