I purchased a 1937 Ford rolling chassis package from Steve Weber in May. The first red flag was that he delivered the car the very next day missing multiple components. Mr. Weber delivered my car in an impressive enclosed trailer with his logo "Fatcatrods" painted professionally on the trailer. I made the mistake of paying for the package in full even though he had "forgotton" many parts that were included in the package such as: headlights, wheel hardware, incomplete brake system, interior dash and console components.
After 3 weeks and many phone calls there were multiple excuses about why I still did not have the parts I was promised. I had to pay someone to drive to Dalton to collect my parts which were still incomplete and incorrect.
After putting in countless hours working on the car, I became painfully aware that the car could not be built. Steve uses old, outdated molds and used components to build his cars that are almost unusable. The frame was manufactured incorrectly and there was no way to install an engine or transmission correctly without completely dismantling the frame.
This company preys on individuals that want to build their dream car - but these cars are a nightmare. After asking around and doing additional research, I have found that Steve Weber and Fatcatrods are taking advantage of and ripping off many hotrod enthusiasts. I have moved on and cut my losses and can only hope that someone reads this and steers clear of Steve Weber and Fatcatrods.
