Has Anyone Seen/Talked To Ryan Thoman (Z28TPI)

Hey Everyone


I am in need of a lot of help tryin to find any infomation on a fellow member name Ryan Thoman.... he goes under the username z28 TPI

Back in December I had Ryan rebuild a 350 I bought for my current 84 Camaro...
I knew Ryan though this forum that he was offering work as a mechanic. I got some of his service and was happy on the work he did...
So when I need a engine swap I has him rebuild a 350 I bought and also a T5..
At first he was with a lot of commuication but all of the sudden I loss contact with him...
I would call him and now he don't answer my calls and don't even call back... I try to email him but no luck...
He called me last week on Monday saying he was gonna come Thursday 6/18/10... but when I waited for him NOTHING.. he didn't called or answer my call on what happen...
My parents are starting to get angry on what is happening and I am also gettin to that level.

I was wondering if anyone can help me out to find Ryan or what to do because my camaro is giving up and I need my engine/trans back to put it back into my camaro..

Please can someone help me out
I would really Appriciate it

Thanks
Valentin

Ryan and I chat once in a while, since he was the wrench on installing a Camaro 305 TBI and 700R4 into my nephew's Astro Van. The job he did was excellent and he was always on time. His work ethic and technical skills are excellent, and he's definitely not a lazy guy. So yeah, I'm vouching for him and have other mechanic projects lined up for him - when he has free time.

That might be the key issue here, since his day job has most likely gone more than full-time as the summer season kicks in. I'm sure he'll get in touch with you.

U might be right on his job... well takin up time from him now that summer is coming.

And on the job he did for ur nephew's van Ryan did tell me about that and other projects, I was excited to hear the stories he told me

I am gonna have to see what is gonna happen...

All I will ask from Ryan is a phone call to see what is going on...
It is cool with me if he can't drop off the motor, I could go pick it up...

I have also chatted on tha phone with Ryan

We could never get the timing right due to schedule/work conflicts...

Since he works for Disney and it's now the summer season, I'm sure his hours went from part time to very full time..

Other than that, I hope it ends in a positive note. Yo, i'll also stop by an check out your progress whenever your free

Of course u can pass by one day...
I will busy all this weekend since I will have to get my car prepare for the 5 speed and go see how to do it for the new front end suspension I bought.... I am only worry about the front spring since I did had a bad experience with them...

Are u plannin on going to the meetin in July for SC3G because a few friends and myself have been plannin on what time to get organize and be ready to go to Van Nuys....

So yeah I guess I will have to wait on Ryan and see what happens... since I never ever went to any amusement part I am not sure how those place get busy... I was thinkin of going with my gf to Universal Studios for the first time for my b day this August but not sure about it....

Anyways let me know on a day u want to pass by (well after this weekend)
