Sucks that it took so long. Sucks that he didn't live up to his promises. Sucks even more than he didn't live up to his promises, that were supposed to make up for his other failed promises.
But hey, you finally have your car back at your house and that's the important part now. Congrats!
What's your timeline like now that you have it back?
TJ He did a lot to make up for it, but I didn't want to wait any more. I just wanted to get started on it. It sure feels good to open the door to the garage and see it sitting there.
Maybe i missed it along the way but did you pick a painter?? Color??
Looks good! I know the feeling of beeing run around for paint and body...but my guy does not (can't) do any paintwork nowadays......... No details lol!!!

Lead; As far as a painter, I've got a friend who's been painting Custom paint and Corvette's since the late 60's. He does my paint work so He'll be doing this one too. The color is a little more trouble, I like a burnt orange but can't seem to find exactly what I want. So its still up in the air. I want to drive it so it needs to be able to be matched.

Wayne,
I'll bet that Madagascar Orange formulation is out by now. Looks like a very cool color and unique, too. Nobody but you would have a car in that color.

What about the orange from the Plymouth Prowler a few years back(04/05?) Similar to the Atomic Orange on the Corvette but a bit darker if I remember correctly.

Prowler Orange is awesome. Bad Penny is that color.
