Hope you get this straightened out Greg. Love to see some positive news for you and your charity.
If I had another fabricator I'd love to take over this project but I have to stay focused on what I have.

I agree with you guys but it was a tricky situation with the charity involved. The payment which was made in full several years ago was actually the body of 1969 camaro which the builder needed asap and there were some promises made by the builder to do some additional work at no charge. I knew from the start it would take a little longer than usual but not 4 years. The biggest problem was the fact that in the 91 emails that were sent back and forth, on nine separate occasions the builder promised the work would be completed in 30 days.
