Default Another Set back...

So I go to check on my 69 Camaro today after the guy has had it for four months after I've paid to have a one piece floor, inner & outter rockers, trunk pan and L & R full quarters installed to see that all that has been done is the floor was cut out... Needless to say after four months of run-around I've decided to pick my car up after numerous excuses on why it's not done. I'm going to pick up the car and panels this week or weekend and do them myself. It may take me that long to do them myself since I've never done any panel replacement before, but am doing alot of research on how to do it. I'm extremely pissed that this guy went back on most of his word and just strung it out for this long. Anyhow, atleast I know no corners will be cut and will go about this the best I can and make sure all the fit is correct and not do a slap together job. I'll be glad to have my hands back on the car and will personally have more hands on expierence with the car. This guy just turned out to be a joke. Anyhow, just had to vent a little bit....

Sorry to hear that I guess that just goes to show you that references and talking to old customers is the most important thing you can do when dropping off your car to a shop.

Yeah, he had some refs that were good and many other cars, but I got the shaft... oh well, lesson learned.

get the car, parts and money back. There are enough places close by you, or even some shops out of state that will come get your car and not bull**** around...
