The 70 Duster......

Got a chance to go up and stop by the shop a week or so ago. The Duster is still holding down its spot in the back of the shop. The "simple repaint" project has seen a little work. According to the body man back in November of 2010, it was "going to be a simple repaint". So we agreed on a price and I paid that in back in November 2010. It was suppose to be completed in Feb. Well as you see it is not even close to done and we are getting closer to a year over due. I explained to the bodyman that I really would prefer not to make this a legal matter. He agreed that he would get the cars done. The "simple repaint" project he hopes to have done by the end of the year.


Disclaimer.. the Charger project got started back in Nov 2010 when the bodyman (which I thought had been getting a little work done back then), was short on cash and wanted some more money on the balance of the Duster. Paying him that amount he needed, would have made up about 90-95% of the total bill with only about 20-30% of the work complete. I was not comfortable with that so he asked if I had any other "small job" work he could do for some extra cash, quick. I had this Charger so he looked it over and said he could get it done in about 10-12 weeks (3 months). If I would have known that it was going to turn into a year and he was not going to work on the Duster at all this entire time.....no dice.
