Maybe this will make you feel a little better that your not the only one: My body guy STILL hasn't painted my header panel, lower valance, and fender tag! I paid him a surprise visit this past Monday morning and explained why I must have my parts painted and returned. The reason is because I already PAID him to do it. I was promised I'll have them back this Saturday. We'll see....
Good luck Dave. I'm sure everyone is dying to see your car.
