It sure seems like the OP doesn't assume you have a negative agenda:
"However I don't want to get ahead of myself and want to give Mr. Perry the benfit of the doubt and hope he does the right thing and steps aside.. it may be a misunderstanding and he could be one heck of a guy and I hope he is .I don't know him so even though it is frustrating I don't want to assume he is some bad guy .. in the end I would like to think he is trying to help me but since it is apparent I am trying to put these parts back with the car I am not sure what to think . Maybe someone here knows Doug Perry ? "
It is just a bit interesting that you are making calls about parts that go with the COPO. Not to speak for anyone else but I am sure the guys who posted the negative posts were being a bit reactionary.
Hopefully the original parts end up with the COPO!!
Too much bad stuff in the world for a bunch of car guys to have issues about something silly!!
