The 70 Duster......

Honestly I have no idea what is going to happen or when it is going to happen. I have been taking time off from Mopar stuff and preparing for a cross state move in June. We have been house hunting and all the things that go with moving 400 miles away. Once we get that taken care of and behind us we will see where the bodyshop is at. At that point I will either be happy that he is finally working on the car, or seeking legal council.

The hard part for me to take, is that for 20 years I was told, "if you get ____ _____ to do your work it will be done on time. He is not cheap but it will be done right." I have personally seen many of the cars that the guy has done, and they are really nice! And I know the timelines that he was finishing the jobs. They were all done in a very reasonable time, in fact quicker than the shops that I was using at the time. I had have about 4-5 paint jobs done that I really wanted to use the guy, but just could not afford it. Well I finally had the money to use him and it is starting to turn into nothing different than any other bodyshop nightmare we have all seen and heard in the past. I have no doubts at all in the ability of the shop to perform the work and the quality of the work. It is just the fact that since Jan of 2010, there has been may 2-3 weeks worth of work done on the car even though about 75% of my total bill is paid. In my opinion, it has turned into one of the deals where the shop has a lot of work left for my stuff to be done, yet the amount left that I owe is so little that there is no incentive to finish the car.
