Why are body guys like that? I know they have to take on late model fender benders to get the quick cash flow from the insurance companies but....
I feel your pain. My guy had my 54 from June 1998 to late july 1999. But there was a lot of work to do to it. And he swore he would never take another old truck or car like that again. But of course he has done many since then including some of his own and my 54 again in Feb 2016. But this time it only took him a month. He will get my 55 in January.
Tony,
What really sucks is I asked the guy up front, “You’re not going to keep this thing for a year are you”. He told me he’d get right on it and did for a few days just enough for me to give him a mid completion payment. That was the end of all work. I thought I would have it back LAST Spring. I’ll be giddy if I get it this Spring.
I SO understand...... mine did the same thing ..... February 1st is the deadline ..... I’m bringing home fixed or not ..... and he has been told and agreed I get my money back ......

I think that is my problem .... the guy does great work and since I have taken mine there he has been discovered by a Pantra club ...... I was there at his shop and there are now 3 Pantras (in progress I might add) and a 70 Mach 1. All this time mine just sits in the back ....
The guy I took mine to does amazing work and was only charging $25/hour so was hesitant to take mine back. But it ended up taking over 6 years! Mostly waiting to get started. I have to admit the final results were worth the wait.

Thanks BJ! All in all, it took more than 10 years and of course was way more expensive than planned. I just didn't see that as I just paid a couple thousand every 6 to 12 months.
