Yeah unfortunately that is all a lot of converter builders do, cut it open, clean it, weld it back together and paint it. They have $5-$20 in rebuilding a converter and sell it for $100, its a goldmine company but once you make a bad reputation it is hard to change that. I havent used Dacco converters in a long time and mainly used them for performance upgrades as they offered a great line of inexpensive quality converters but they had a lot of limits as to what they would do and it just wasnt in my interest to continue using them anymore.
