HOLY COW. I just clicked on this sticky for grins. I KNOW THIS GUY. I am from Lone Oak. I sold him a ton of parts, and he sold me a lot.

MANY MANY MANY MANY times I have looked back on my build (I started at 17 in 2002, and just now got back to it), and thought man that dude ripped me a new one and I didn't even know it. I looked at old reciepts and what not between he and I and I got RAKED over the coals and had no idea.

To be naive and 17, my my.

Homeboy at one point had pristine, and I mean pristine near show quality original green Cheyenne full interior that he gave me $150 IRC. Plus the full set of trim from the oustide and tons of other parts that I now know are much more valuable and I wish I still had.

In turn I got a bed that I paid $350 for (along with some items traded, was supposed to be a $500 transaction). I got it home and started messing with it to find it COVERED in bondo, like inches thick that he had slapped on and sprayed over. I just didn't know any better at the time.

He also sold me a front clip that was a piece of ****. What a jackass. I'm going home in a few weeks, I have half a mind to go take a dump on his front porch.

Huge thanks to the admins for keeping him offsite here. I have seen a bunch of his chrome, and it is ****. Pure ****.

Thanks admin, for trying to keep this forum clean. This crap makes me so mad. Grapevine says he's living with his mother in Brownwood now. Which sucks cause that makes it so you have to be leery of the whole Dallas/Fort Worth area, which truly is a shame. And yes Lisa Willis is his,(whatever you would like to call her.) who is also the Mayor of Lone Oak, yes you heard right, and she has almost single handedly crushed that town. One of a kind people I'll tell ya, and the kind that have no business even being Americans.

Correction, she used to be mayor, she's still manager though. Hopefully they'll be able to turn that town around. I'm praying for the citizens of Lone Oak.

Mike, what are your ties to the area? You seem to know more than the average joe buying on the forum (I grew up in LO, got out ASAP).

I just keep my ears to the ground, specially with something comes up like this. I still have a lot of family all over the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Just wanted to make people aware that if stuff starts coming out of Brownwood, be very cautious.

Hey Josh,
Excellent job on catching this crook. To all the other guys, if you can show that he stole any of value from anyone, charges can be pressed on him for using the internet as a means of the theft. I have filed many chatges on subjects using the internet for scams.

I say contact the police agency where you live and file a report and then the agency where he lives and forward the case number you got to them. Let put heat on him. I had sold and bought item and all dealing were great, even met a guy at the TX/La border for a deal.

Stay safe and keep the crook off this site.

Unfortunately I have been gone a while and happen to see this about a guy from Texas. Rest assured not all us Texas folks are slimy like this James character. Any way great to be back and good to see some great builds going on.

I bought several parts from him when he was selling on eBay back in '07. I was one of the lucky ones, but not without headaches.

Welcome back, Carlos!

Maybe there's something in the water in Lone Oak:

His website is down.

Thank you all for the heads up, I am in N. TX, and would probably have run into him at some point.

I try to refrain from the taste of shoe leather but here goes:
Thank you Josh for the heads up and a great effort. I can say that so far I've been Blessed to have great dealings (for what little money I've been able to spend) with everyone on this site, including the supporting vendors. And thanks in general to all here for the huge amount of education and savvy I've gained since joining; it has been and continues to be very beneficial to my project dreams and snail-speed progress.
But of course, meanwhile back at the ranch... the trouble, trust issues and aggravation that a few sleeze-bags can create for the majority should remind us of the fallen world in which we live. I'm just sorry to see it tangled up in this little corner of goodness & enjoyment. However, I shall not let it stop me from enjoying my project and this site, nor let it hinder my use of it and my parts hunting adventures. :o)
Josh, thanks again sir,
Chubinit (Bill, NC)

As far as the authorities, some guys from the stovebolt board have attempted, but I don't know what happened. It was reported that he spent some time in jail last year, but I never found out why.

The company, Superior Chrome, was a well respected company doing quality chrome plating for hot rodders. The owner died, and the business was passed on to the daughters. It has since gone downhill. One of the daughters married James' brother Bobby. Bobby tries to do right, but keeps saving James' butt just enough to stay in business. Everyone would be better off if Bobby would leave James hanging out to dry. At least that's my take on the matter.

I know the old guy--Randy Baker on the NE side of Houston who mess's with old big trucks--he was the brother of the owner of superior chrome.

the also have a side buis boneyard400 and have a field of old antique stuff up in Kansas or Nebraska--they must not be tied to this james guy because they have been around for a long time, used to see em at swapmeets like Ckicasha

I guess That explains why when I was trying to register for the first time my profile was immediately locked and I was immediately and permanently banned with no way of asking why?

And of course if I look under that profile it say permanently banned and no reason given.

Of course my name is also James but I live in Decatur Texas not Lone oak texas.

At first I thought it was unfair to immediately get locked out and permanently band with no explanation but figured I just typed something wrong.

Btw

I bend over backwards after being a victim of ID theft to net even use my real name.

I look forward to seeing members of this forum in the Denton Decatur and DFW area swap meets, c10 gatherings, and local car shows.
I missed the good guys swap meet and southwest moved from Decatur to tms so I missed it to since it wasn’t at the Decatur fair grounds.

I also won’t offer anything for sale here if your not local either. If I sell anything I want the buyer to be able to see and look at any item I way have a need to sell. Usually I avoid selling on forums anyways.

Just for a heads up, you have to be a "Premium" member to sell parts on the board. If you click on the word "Subscribe" in the menu bar above it will explain the different membership options.....

I haven't been to the Decatur swap meet but I have been to the Pate meet. Had a good time....

Welcome to the board.

Please shoot me a PM when you get a chance. I would like to review the issue as we do not typically perma ban anyone without due cause, especially new members
