I currently have my 67 Camaro RS in the body shop and it has been there for 16 months.

Hey Jared: First off: set up an appointment with the shop owner to discuss your car. My guess is that if he schedules the time, he will be able to devote all his time to you at that point. If you just stop by , he may be busy with something else.
$7800 for what you are having done is VERY inexpensive- sounds like the guy may have taken the job in as a filler job- for when other things go slow, he can pick up on you car and do some work.

If after speaking with him (and I cant stress enough that communication is key in a situation like this- and communication with the shop owner- not the mesage board- no offense) you still arent happy with the work done (not the time frame - did he give you a specific time frame the car was supposed to be complete by -in writing on your contract?) pull the car. Its your car- you can do what you want with it.

If you have paid for the work and he is finished with the work- you are even.

I would definatley start with speaking with him- most shop owners are reasonable IF you approach the issue professionally and as if it is a business issue- which it is.

IN the long run you want it done right , not fast.

Good luck.Keep us posted if you can OK?
