im guessing that best case scenario is that i get the car back in 6 months. but if i was a betting man, i'd put my money on another year.
since i traded the big block for the paint work directly with the painter, the shop that has the car (though they brokered the deal) won't go to the painters shop (2 hrs away) to get the remaining parts so that they can finish the build. the painter is out of town on a family vacation, which i have no problem with, so he cannot deliver the parts, although everything is done. the shop (not the painter) said that since they didn't get paid out of the deal, they won't do any of the work. so, nothing is being done. no lines have been run, nothing has been wired, seats haven't been sent out to get recovered, rear panels haven't been made, or the rear deck, suspension hasn't been finished.......
whole build is fubar'd because of the lack of dedication to getting my car done.
