Couldnt take it anymore,had to get car out.My car has been in a shop that has done a truck for me before so I went with them to paint the camaro.although they did an awsome job on the first project,this one wasnt moving forward.got tired of hearing excuses and seeing it pushed off into a dark corner.My project came to a screeching halt when the most talented one in the shop left.found out he opened his own shop and he agreed to finish my car for the balance owed from original place.he did all the work done on the car thus far anyway.hope it all works out.

good luck, i hope things work out for you. my car has been in the body shop for a little over 4 months now. i'm hoping to have it back in the next week or two. how long did they have your car? what all did they do to it, was it just in for paint and body, or some serious resto work?

they had the car about 4 months.all they were to do was do finish body work and paint it.when I dropped it off I was told 2 weeks.I kind of knew it would take longer than that but, at 4 months and still not even in primer it was time to yank it.
Good call dude. Hope the new place works out for ya. I go to paint in a about a week myself.

Its best to stick with the same guy, then if any problems there no it's his fault, no it's the other guys fault

where in Florida are you? Might be good to let people know who the body shop was, so they can avoid the problems you've had to deal with. hope things work out for you.

the shop is in safety harbor.dont really want to rat him out,cause like I said he does really good work,or used to.ive known this guy for about 5 years and hes going thru kind of a mid life crisis??I know he is capabable of doing awesome work its just getting him to do it.the guy that was working for him is very talanted and a real go getter.tough decision to make but dont want to deal with it anymore.I am paying.
