Fucking motor guy

So this fucking epic adventure with my ironhead engine continues. The first guy said hed have the motor back in a week or two nooooo problem. After 2 months i finally got him on the phone and laid a shit storm of yelling on him. I went to get the engine back and it was all boxed up like i left it. He never even looked at it. So off to the second guy.This guy showed me pictures of all kinds of drag bikes and choppers and the such. He had the motor for 4 months. That time the cases were put in front of the polishing wheel and a mirror shine was put on, then into a super sonic cleaner. That cost me $400. Then the motor sat until i went and got it and told him thanks for all the hard work. Polishing trophies take alot of time but they look good. Now the third guy. He actually got my bottom end together i think. The jugs were bored to match my new pistons. Now its sitting inside a shop that doesnt have a phone anymore and this guy isnt anywhere to be found. Im pissed. The cases arnt covered so who knows whats falling in there. The jugs arent covered so im sure there is rust forming in the walls. Why the hell cant i find a good indie shop in CT that doesnt just take money? Ive got too much into this ironhead motor at this point.

Sucks that you're getting such a run around. Makes me feel lucky to have an awesome guy doing my motor work. I couldn't deal with that sort of chaos. Good luck, hope it gets better for you.
