During the build I questioned some of the things he did and his response was “this is just what happens when you replace panels on a 1st gen Camaro that they are some of the worst fitting cars out there”. 6 months later I Paid $24K, and this is what I got. I am not satisfied. Other shops have said it is sub standard work but I wonder if they are just saying that because they are competitors.

Am I being too picky?
It's sad to see this happen over and over again... I just recently purchased a 67 nova SS of of craigslist that had similar metalwork done to it, the original owner had stripped the car to bare metal after he had what was supposed to be a high end restoration done on the car and it started to bubble. He sold it because it was totally ruined in his eyes. Let us know if you come to any conclusions with the shop that did the work.... I am interested if they even care enough to make right.
