None of which happened which seems strange to me. Okay, so my next question did at anytime over the months that the car was at the shop did you ever visit the car to check progress, speak to the owner and even ask for progress update and of course an invoice.
Some people seem to trust people blindly which it seems like you did. So far I've built 3 project car one with an unlimited budget but there was constant communication between myself, the fab shop, body shop, interior shop and the KD Hot Rods

Marty,
Thank you for responding, I asked for photos and was told that they were going to get them to me. When I asked about invoices I was told that there was not that much work done to create one and that they would get them to me and when we tried to set up a time for me to come and see the car he was tied up with racing or something else. I really did not have a concrete deadline but wanted it before the winter. I had multiple phone conversations with them about, seats, shifter color and console layout and measurements. Right now I am not happy that I did not push hard enough to set up a date to meet at the shop. And yes I did trust him I had no reason not to. But he also admitted that there was some changes within his shop that led to a lot of miscommunication between him and his shop manager.
And call me a little crazy but not sure if I was a shop I would be spending to many labor hours if there was no money coming in on the build. I personally think things got out of hand from the other shop manager and now they need to fix it, that is why 6 months later I finally got invoices and pictures...was he being told by the other shop manager that these were sent out? I do not know but someone dropped the ball.
