I did go and see George last week. Talked for about an hour. Made sure he understood I need the car done and back soon. He promised to be in paint and back to me in six weeks. Metal is all done and most of it is in primer. He needs to attach fenders and block it out, and paint. So not too terrible.
And I'll bet it didn't have **** stacked on it unless it was something for it. That's just no respect with all that crap on John's car. I'd have flipped out.
