Who knows if they'll honor past DDB customers that got burned. The way
I understood it is he just bought up all the goods. I would definitely
call him and explain to him that the seals and alternator kit he bought
was stuff you already paid for. It's worth a try. Chuck was really
cool to me, but I also paid him $265.
All their contact info is on their website.
