How does that saying go? Cant squeeze blood from a turnip (or something like that!) Although I believe there are some criminal charges their working on.
The guy was basically a crook. I think he was full aware he couldn't do a job like this and saw it as an oppurtunity to make some money with no intention of actually finishing anything. Its what gives this great hobby a bad name sometimes, (although this is to the extreme!)
The owner of the car encouraged me to tell this story to remind people to do their homework and check references!

First order of business is building a sound foundation to build upon.


All this mess will be rebuilt, both quarters replaced, C-pillars were crooked and will need to be repaired also. We'll be building our own tubs as well to fit 335 -20" tire

Much respect to the car owner for having the courage to press on!
