How is your "Project" going?

Interesting topic. Just 2 weeks ago I was all in my interior guy's face about being 3 days late on Bill's GTO. Star Jones telling the shop don't touch that Hyundai. Ask Bill if I wasn't ready to push a Volkswagen out of my upholstery mans shop! Basically I explained he was not touching anything else until my car (Bill's car) was done, and I would personally push the car out of the way. It's real damn simple. Do what you promise, and everything will be just fine!

We have a renewed understanding now, and he spends a lot of time trying to kiss and make up.

A suggestion for all of you. Ask a shop how long they need, offer them an additional 25% more time, but tell them you want a penalty clause if they run behind. $50 a day is what we do. Baring natural disasters or disablement of a key person, like me or Mike.

If the shop is not willing to commit to a penalty clause with a 25% added time to his best schedule estimate, he is lying or not confident. Nether would justify leaving your car there.

Which reminds me, I have 17 days to finish a 55 Chevy I took in 73 days. Gotta go now!

And oh yeah, that collision shop advice is well spoken.
