Hey Frank,
I'm sorry to hear about that. Keith is scum. I'll call you this week. I'll split it with you no problem. Jail time would be fine for me.
Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Keith Mease Stole $20,000 from me

I guess I was one of the lucky ones. Custom headers, downpipe, and cross over all were made by MPE. Seems like awesome work and when people see my set up they always ask me where I got the parts. Then again, the previous owner is the one who bought the parts and had MPE install them...so I have no idea if he had problems to.

Re: Keith Mease Stole $20,000 from me

I am looking for any help I can get. Keith Mease aka MPE racing fab has stolen $20,000 from me. He said he was building me an engine but I have recieved nothing. This has been going on for years. He picked up his phone a month ago and said it was about ready to ship. Now he wont pick up or return phone calls. Anyone know how to get ahold of this scammer? Ed Hess?
Thanks,

At this point the money doesn't matter. All I want to do is find people in the same situation with Keith and put them together. The engine was a Chevy 383 Forged stroker, twin turbo kit, fuel system, meth injection, and a bunch of odds and ends. I will haunt Keith forever, I find it fun.

So you bought the parts from viciousv6? If so you never dealt with the man directly. I believe Ralph was so close to him he had no choice.

Even though the amount I lost is nowhere near others have lost. It was on my mind of purchasing a plane ticket and taking care of business. If $20k was what I lost. Keith better hope I did not find him.

Re: Keith Mease Stole $20,000 from me

Well unfortunately ive been in the same boat. I gave Keith $800 more then 2 yrs ago for a set of headers same ones that ralph has and ed has. He called me day after day trying to get the money for the materials so he could build them. After i gave him the money and tried to reach out for him he was like chasing a ghost. I have his air to air for my truck and thats only bc i bought it from another memeber his work is second to none. I know Ralph has gotten alot of stuff done bc he would go there and stay the whole time trying to get the parts built. I know its only $800 but i would just like the moeny to go and get someone else to build them. I cant imagine what would happen if $20,000 or $30,000 of my money would be gone. I know i contacted Frank at autoaddication after i heard about him trying to get ahold kieth and the money he had taken from him for the impala, thats when i heard he was in jail. Its ashame bc the work he does is amazing. Shame he has taken so much from so many

Re: Keith Mease Stole $20,000 from me

problem with kieth is he gets into things over his head and takes your money to pay his other past bills then doesnt have the money to start your stuff. the only way to work with him like i did, ralph did and ed does is to go to his house and sit with him. all my stuff was great but again i sat there and helped him finish it all. his work is the best out there.
lol or just dont use him

20k for a engine? O.k what drugs are you on. I think I would have expected something after the 5 k mark.

If we're talking a balls to the wall build, 20k is not that hard to spend.

Alum. bowtie block $4000
Brodix alum heads $3700
Stroker crank $3000
Sheet metal intake $2750
Rods $1100
Pistons & rings $780
Shaft mount valve train $1600
Cam $300
valve covers $320
oil pan $650
Gaskets $500

There's $18,700 on just basics with no machine work or porting

If we do some balls to the wall things:
thermal barrier coating, dry film lubricant coatings $1000
Cryo treat the engine $800

You could get $30-35,000 deep in a hurry.

Re: Keith Mease Stole $20,000 from me

I purchased a downpipe from him in Dec of 06. I've yet to receive it. I pretty much considered it a loss. I spoke to him numerous times but just reaching him was hard.
When i did get in contact he sounded like a nice guy and reassured me that everything would be taken care of. With all the impressive things he had done to Ed's truck we talked about getting my truck built. I've had a budget of 25k and was very close to shipping the truck to him. If he could not ship a downpipe how could i trust him with my truck. Keith is a THIEF.

Someone in Rockford is as well.

RUN while you still can! So far I have not recieved a single part. He still calls time to time promising this and that. He is a scam artist and nothing will change that. At one point he threatened to not give me anything 'till I took all my posts down lol. I told him I haven't recieved anything and people deserve to know they will be throwing there $$ away with him. We then agreed if he gave me an engine without the turbo kit, I would start taking my posts down. 1 year later and he's still tripping over all of his lies and not delivering a single part. I noticed he did sell a 355 short block on Craigslist in December. Now that's not cool. That should have been mine. If anyone wants to talk in private shoot me your # in a PM and I'll give you all the details, anything you want to know. KEITH MEASE stole my $ and has not delivered a single part, nothing. If a higher up on this site needs proof so they know I'm not full of crap like Keith, PM me. I have nothing to hide.
