Thats where I found his crazy conspiracy theories he believes regarding the Corona virus.

Search #gocatspeedshop. You should be able to find those comments that way unless he deleted those as well.

He knows damn well this thread is going on.
Yes, he's still active on Instagram. He just blocked various people who posted comments he didn't like. His recent posts are just disgusting and not hot rod related at all.

Let me guess: It's full of conspiracy theories, anti-government, anti-human decency, and flat out bullshit, right?

Well... we have seen a a few Gocat posts now...

Let's talk flatheads, leave the shit for shit singers. care less otherwise here. Nothing stupid from a dude on Instagram helps this hobbit or hobby.

As they say when the shit hits the fan it will not be distributed equally. Whatever that means. Flatheads is what we do or care.

Yeah 'singer', LET'S TALK FLATHEADS! The "dude" that you refer to takes peoples' flatheads, and he takes their multi-THOUSANDS of dollars, and he keeps it ALL to himself! Won't return the engines, and he won't return the monies to the owners! So, you just continue to "care less otherwise", while the good folks above who have lost so much continue to show concern about some form of restitution. DD

I still don't understand why this person is not in jail. I sure hope this thread alerts anyone who might be tempted to use this thief.

I agree Mike this guy is a "fraudster" and those that have been scammed need to file numerous complaints with Josephine county D.A. or the state attorney general's office for consumer complaints. It's no different than people who do investment scams. The only problem that I can see is if there are no supporting documents of the transactions. If no documents, but tons of complaints it can show a pattern of deception. People (victims) have to be willing to go to court. This subject has been here for a long time and has been discussed at length. It's time people get together and demand some action from law enforcement.

Whoops, I got Go Cat mixed up with that other fraudster in Grants Pass ,Oregon although my advice is still the same for both crooks.

Thumbs down Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

Yes I have had a bad and ongoing problem with Eric Brown of GoCatSpeed shop.
My experience with Eric proved him to be a LIAR and a THEIF. Do not trust that man he will rob you at first chance. If you would like more info on that crook let me know I have proof of his lies in e-mails. He owes me over $2,000.00 and has been making excuses for over three years!! (bad economy, sick family etc. etc.)
What a looser and bad business man he is.

He gives a bad name to mail order engine builders (assembler only he has no machines and does no machine work)

With all of this theft and crap going on at Go Cat why isn't someone doing something about this? Last time I checked isn't theft a criminal offense?

I have been waiting for a tad over three years for my flathead from him. I got duped too, unfortunately. Many, many excuses from him as to why it hasn't been completed. I will be contacting the BBB and local law enforcement. I doubt anything will come of it but I will try.

I have no dog in this fight, but when I read this late last night I got an evil thought.

So I sent an inquiring email about midnight. I got an answer about noon.

Maybe I should come back with a question about delivery time and payment options?

Yes I still am ! considering the whole coronaHOAX is killing our
way of life ! You have a '37 engine in a '35 ?
I usually don't build 21 stud engines but I have some I can build
for you or you can send me the one you have.
Email back or Call with any questions on parts, if you want just a
mild rebuild or something with more performance.

Just Wow! I can’t believe just how many people have been scammed and the money involved. Almost got scammed by a local “Off-Road” builder if bumpers, sliders, etc. Luckily J didn’t give him any money, only some material. I also got my material back, but it was only because I was close to him. He scammed lots of people, and when things would get too hot, he would relocate and rename his business and continue on.

I'm surprised he didn't throw his flat earth conspiracies in the email. I cant belive he isn't in jail for what he's been doing.

Id love to ask him for referrals and delivery times. "I'm reading some people are waiting 2-3 years?" See what he says.

Another one of his conspiracy theories is that Marilyn Monroe was a man. No wonder DiMaggio's batting average went way down when he found out.

So, the Eric Brown story continues on. I would have thought it would have come to an end by now.

I had a horrible time with ERIC BROWN he took a deposit and would not return my money after we found out that he was just not qualified to do the work on a flathead.
He made promise after promise to return $2,500.00 I say he is thief and a scammer.
Thats no lie! #stay away from him
