Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?
The real reason is boat racing. They were designed to bolt on to a boss cast into Thickstun heads and protect the spark plugs from shorting out from the splashing water. Thicktun was friends with Frank Baron who was a big cracker jack racer. Thickstun died of a heart attack while making whoopie to a young lady up at the lakes.

Hopefully it was from a heat attack and not a gun shot from and irate boyfriend or husband.

The gun shot method may actually have been quicker and less painful. Either way, ya gotta wonder if there was a "happy ending" before this otherwise unhappy ending! DD |

He posted photos of a 59A block that he supposed to build for me on Instagram but never sent any photos of progress. I suggested to come and pick up the unfinished block, just to get something but he refused. I never talked bad about him on social media and always tried to find a solution as I know how hard it is to run a one-man-shop, but now he blocked me on Instagram and doesn't reply to my email. Yes, I know what you guys are saying, why did you send him that much money? Because I thought it is a small world of like minded honest people who help each other. A very expensive lesson for me. And by the way, my 32 roadster is almost finished now, just missing the motor :-), Ralf from New Zealand |

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?
Yes...But I will not discuss it over the Internet. I had to go to his shop and take back/retrieve part of my block and parts. Legal charges are pending.

Maybe a little less insanity and a little more work would get him out of hot water. I hope this all works out for you. Good luck and good riddance to Go Cat Speed Shop. I also find it telling that he has yet to come on to post to attempt to clear his name. He knows this post is here and on other forums. Last edited by Tim Ayers; 04-22-2020 at 08:29 AM. |

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?
I personally have always had a problem with operations that have "cutsey-poo" names. "Go-Cat Speed Shop"? Give me a break. This guy just enforces that feeling. I like names like "Precision Machining" or maybe even "NAPA". Our local NAPA guy in Brainerd is an expert with flatheads.
I hope you guys who have been scammed get some kind of positive results. I would like to see this guy end up paying for his sins. |

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?
I wonder how many people that dealt with this guy got anything in writing(contract) from him? With nothing in writing its difficult to prosecute guys like this because it's your word against his word. In order to get this guy into the legal system(or jail) you have to show a pattern of failure to perform. Contracts are evidence. This guy does deserve to serve some time, but without some good solid evidence he may escape the system. I hope for the best for everyone who has been take by this scumbag. Even if he does get hauled into court you can rest assured that he will get a taxpayer funded lawyer.

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?
It must have been recent.
He will still post and make comments on other flathead related accounts. 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. |
