[urq] revolting sport-hood deadbeats

[audiqtrocp at aol.com]

Man, I knew Ed Kowbel back in about '95 after I got my Mars UrQ.  I think he touched it once and broke it twice...



I was SO leery of the group buy when I heard his name associated with it, especially after being burned by the LAST sport hood group buy Dave Bergeron style...

It makes me glad I jumped on the 'lowly' fiberglass hood that turned up in Reno last spring.




Ed was always a guy that promised more than he could deliver, in both knowlege and and ability.  But he sure talked the talk...




I can't help but raise the question again:  What does it take to get a friggin sport hood reproduced in this country?!?!!??!?!?!?




With all the boat builders and fiberglass shops in Eds area I figured he may actually get it done so I never intervened. 

I bet if everyone would have just settled for fiberglass there would have been hoods deliverd

That was the car... and it's back in FL.

Ed?Kowbel has come through with nothing, nor has he returned any of our money.? 
Collectively, I believe the group lost about $11,000 to Ed.? What a great guy.? 
Hope no one on this list uses him for their Audi work.

Look forward to seeing you in Glenwood... I hope to get there myself.
