Does anyone know Mike Souza in Mariposa, CA?

I am trying to get in touch with Mike Souza in Mariposa, CA, and haven't had much luck. Does anyone here know him?

I've spoken to him a couple of times by telephone. His phone number (at least in February of this year) is 209-966-4183.
Hope that helps.

Ya, I have it. Unfortunately he wont return my calls. He owes me a bonnet thats paid for. I arranged with him to buy a shell including doors and bonnet, and he was to drop it off at a friends body shop for me. But he "forgot" to drop off the bonnet and now I can't get in touch with him.

Well, that smells big time. I hope he gets his act together and delivers the bonnet - that's pretty hard to "forget".

Ya, he claimed it was in his van and he forgot to unload it, just the roller he all he unloaded off the trailer. I hope he is a stand up guy and not trying to screw me. I'd like to think people in this cirlce are the more honest type.

If he would return your calls a person could feel a little better about things but it makes you nervous when they don't. I was thinking of buying the pieces for a wire wheel conversion from him last year for my BE then changed my mind. I was going to drive up there though so felt pretty confident he had the stuff. I hope he comes through and doesn't make you resort to small claims or something - that would be a real hassle as Mariposa isn't right there in your neighborhood.
Good luck and keep us posted.

You didn't happen to get his address, did you?

I got your info Scott, looks like he has screwed some people in the past. Time to get the law involved.
So now it looks like I need a bonnet, any local NICE bonnets out there? I'd like to get a fiberglass one, but a steel one will work.

I have an option. Give me a call I will pm you with the number.

This is the address I have found for him:
4913 Alta Way
Mariposa CA 95338-9740

I hope this helps or he resurfaces. I really don't like it when people don't meet their obligations, particularly in the LBC world.

good new, Mike got in touch this morning and said he could meet up with my father who is closer to him than I and get the bonnet. So its now in my possession. Talking about making a person nervous.

Now that I have it, I need to find a small hood scoop for the small cutout above the carb. Its small, about the size of a weber converted car with the air cleaner they come with in most conversions. It would be nice to find one rounded and shallow.

Anyhow, good news. Thank goodness.
