Atleast my painter is 4 block away from the house. I'll be there like one of his employees. lol If I fall out my front door I'll roll right down the hill to his shop.

Wayne, I'll feel for you. I've been in your shoes and my painter was only a couple miles away. I did a great deal of the body work getting it ready for my body and paint guy and just wanted him to dial it in and paint it. Well after 2 years and about four times the original bid(don't even want to disclose that amount, it's embarrassing) I told him no more $ and gave him a date I was going to pick it up. Kept my end of the bargain, showed up with a trailer and a bunch of friends, gathered my goods (unfinished but close) and took it home. He wasn't happy about it but it sure felt good to get it home and work on it at my pace and not pay any more falsified funding charges. He did good work but the lying I couldn't take anymore. Mike sounds like a good guy and looks like he knows what he's doing, but you can only take so much. I've been pulling for you and hope it all works out in the end. Best of luck

Thanks Lenie I appreciate it. The guy who's going to paint my car is a friend for the last almost 40 years. He was the guy everyone went to for custom work. He still always has a few Vettes at the shop. Every time I think of a different color he drags out the color charts for me and we look them over.
I can't wait until I get that close and have to pick a final color!
