In reference to the "A Different Brand of Z" thread I am sorry to continue this discussion of a locked thread but I feel that I must defend John Washington. I have dealt with John off and on for over fourteen years and have never had a problem. He has always and, I mean always, provided excellent products AND service.
A case in point. Back when I was building my Ferrari GTO replica my wife bought me a Alpha 1 GTO type dash from John for my birthday. Well, like most of these projects, mine took many years to build. By the time I got around to installing the dash I found out it didn't fit. So I called John and explained the problem. He apologized that he should have quizzed my wife further, but I have an early car and the dash fits the later 260Z's, etc. After having the dash sitting in my garage for 3 1/2 years John tells me to ship it back for A FULL REFUND!
A lot of people contact me about building a Ferrari 250 GTO replica so I have referred many of them to John over the years and nobody has ever come back with a complaint so I will continue to provide John with my highest recommendation.
