I think he does have rear bumpers w/ swing out.
He bought a warehouse full of stuff from a company that went bankrupt and left a lot of people hanging. |
They did leave a few people hanging for sure. Considering what they really were though, a shipping company, BAMF has intentions to make it right. I believe BAMF intends on making good on the GB for the Hawaii guys. Then reproducing the products with all of the touches that only excellent fabricators and Toyota enthusiasts can do.
Most everything at the sale was unfinished. The bumper that I scored needed trimming (1.25") to clear the grill. That was either an engineering oversight or overstock from an early prototype. The 1st gen front prototype was also there and it also needed improvements. It was clear to me between the pictures from the auction as well as the inventory in the warehouse that PelfreyBilt was not in the fabrication business. I think they must have overextended themselves by outsourcing everything and running behind on paying the vendors as well as the landlord. I'll bet more than just a few customers got the short end. Employees, suppliers, business partners, vendors, and probably their families took it in the shorts. I believe that BAMF still wants to salvage the Pelfrey name for their products and somehow they might find themselves back in the industry. Maybe a SoCal BAMF rep? Who knows.
In the world of business, some lessons are taught, some are learned and some you pay dearly for. Lets hope that BAMF learned a lesson that someone else payed for.
