This guy has had my Dads car for five years! My mother wanted to have the restoration done for his 70th birthday obviously that didnt happen! Unfortunately my mother ended up passing the following year from an rare disease. Almost to the month a year after Ben picked it up. We gave him the go ahead to keep working on it in July of 2020 and here we are in October of 23 and it still just a painted shell. isnt even a rolling chassis. No engine mounted, nothing! It probably wouldnt be so bad if he was making progress but nothing new is done when we go check on it! My mom and dad pretty much financed his business through Covid and every other excuse he could come up with. Were on the 3rd time hes told us It should be ready by driving season! My dad will be 74 in February and it would be nice to have his car back and finished!! Pics are from when it was picked up in Nov of 2018 and about as far as Ben has gotten in 5 years!! Pure disheartening Disappointment!! P.s. I was even blocked from his Facebook account for questioning his performance! Truth hurts I guess

The owner Ben Linton charged me for things that were not completed. I kept paying him more money as he held my wifes truck hostage for 3 months. I paid for a window and ceramic coating and new ford emblems which were never delivered. Over $3,000 paid just for those. Not to mention bubbles in the window tint that werent even tinted to 5% as they were supposed to be. Also bubbles in the brand new and very expensive paint job. I was also charged for parts that i provided. Hes responded to messages that he will take care of it and fix whatever is wrong but how could we trust him with the truck again after this fraud. He also promised to send detailed invoices and a refund which has never showed up. I gave him close to $40,000 to work on this truck and got screwed over personally by the owner. My wife trusted him and considered him a friend. Id sure hate to see how he treats customers that he doesnt know.
