In this day and age, it can be a non issue, or a sign of a poorly run business. Ask to speak to current customers. Never believe the sales pitch.

yeah it really depends on what cars are sitting, are they clients cars or the owners collection. Have to ask questions and get to look for feedback from past customers.

In my experience the amount of time depends on the style of build and the customers financial standing and how the build is being paid or if its donated time. I have had projects that took 7 months to complete to projects going on 2 years.

getting close to 3 years now.

Like everyone else said. If i was filthy rich my car could be done within 2 weeks. Since im not rich and i have other priorities I will be driving my car no later than Aug 19th 2014. The car should be done within the next 6 months. If it isnt it isnt.

Too funny right there.

Mine took two years having a shop do the work. All due to schedule, money and changes along the way.
