10 month paint job

Wow thank you guys for all your imput! Ill try to answer everyone back as i can! Well It's a collision repair shop but they have done restorations in the past. They never did say a certain time on how long but did say "not too long", that should have been a red flag there huh? I would have to murder them for making me pay by the hour! They just gave me an overall estimate of 2,500. So far i have paid them that and an extra 700 for sending off my bumpers to get rechromed. 3,200 total so far in just their bill. I say "just their bill cause i have spent about that much in all the special stuf i got (new quarter panel, rear go-wing, hood scoop and new seals all around). It still needs the quarter replaced so far and most of the car has been primered for a couple months now. Im terrified of taking it from them because of what 68formulaS said, and im not interested in starting all over again. I talked to them today and they told me a couple weeks, we just need a new striker post and the panel it mounts to cause one of the previous owners decided to weld it on without measuring very well! I think i will play the waiting game a bit more and give them a chance to finish. But i certainly wont be letting buddies work on any more paint/body jobs for me any time soon ha. Oh and also thank you all again for your comments! I really appreciate reading your opinions and experiences :) i will certainly keep this updated in case anyone is that interested to see how it turns out!
