Guys,thanks for all the advice,opinions,thoughts on how to handle this situation.Very good points from each and everyone of you.

Here's the deal.The metalwork is about 80% finished.All that needs to be done is install the rear floor,frame rails and roof skin and I would imagine some tidy up work too.My car has been sitting idle for a couple weeks because whichever client bitches the loudest get more done I suppose.The car ahead of me is in the final stages of completion before its sent off to Ireland.The metalworker is getting everything finished up under the car because the owner will fly out this weekend to see his car in the final stage.

My car was supposed to be out of metalwork last month but it wasn't.They keep telling me next week,next week,next week...you get the idea...delays.

There really isn't much bodywork to do as every single panel is brand new sheetmetal.The shop says it should only be in bodywork about 10 days to 2 weeks because everything is new.But their timeline never seems to go with their schedule.

I'm as polite and professional and i'm having a difficult time keeping this game face on because of the delays and excuses.This is the 2nd car they built for me and that car was 3 months late on delivery.For some reason I see this car being way past their agreed delivery date of July 31st.

I'm really in a bad position of not knowing how to handle this as my patients are starting to wear very thin and I really don't want to piss them off.


I forgot to mention this.Even though I'm all paid up on this car,I have had to buy parts for the car as the shop had cash flow issues...not enough money coming in quick enough.I've put out about 20k in parts and we do have a contract that this money will be paid back but it hasn't yet.So,to cover myself I requested the title to a 1972 Pantera they own which is in the process of restoration and shelved at the moment as they are working on customers cars.I do have the Pantrea title in my possession.
