Default Buyers that backout

Hammertime, I know the feeling. I listed my dads altered on here and it sells within a week. Guy sends deposit and says he'll be here in a week. He asks how big my dad is and etc and I tell him I have drove the car and I am 6'2" 240. My dad is smaller, but his car has a larger cage than my dragster. My dad is persistent the whole time to leave the motor and trans in the car until he arrives, but the buyer insists on taking it off before he gets here. He gets here and says he cannot fit in the car, but does not try. Take it now that he was very short and probably pushing 300, but it made a lot of work for us for nothing. We ended up putting the motor and trans back in and he ended up deciding to keep the car and painting it this winter. It all worked out for the best in the long run.
