I was one of the buyers who was unhappy with the lack of communication after the work was completed, and my payment sent (4/15).
Wanted 62to65mopars members to know that Joey Cole shipped my oil pan this week, and it arrived today. 

I purchased one of his bumpers last year and was very pleased with the craftsmanship, and on that basis, asked Joey to deepen a '187' style pan, and add baffles to stock 66-69 Hemi specs.

The pics of the pan are posted on Moparts in the "General Forum", and the pics speak for themselves, the work is outstanding. 

Recent communication issue aside, I recommend Joey's work to anyone - and I am hard to please.

That's why I asked Bill if anything was going on. The frustrated buyer 
stated that Joey said the part was on the shelf and ready to ship. Joey 
immediately cashed the M.O./check, and the buyer hadn't received the 
part for 3 weeks. At least 2 other people made the same claims. Joey 
failed to respond to emails and phone calls. That's why Joey was locked 
out of Moparts and probably will remain so until all the customers are 
satisfied.

That's all I know.
