Then you're in a cross match if you don't pay them, they'll keep your car and punch a title on it and sell it. You can't go to court in a timely manner and calling the cops will do no justice as it's a civil matter.

Nothing like that going on here, just a single man shop with super high quality outcomes which takes longer.. Demand is high and when big dollar cars roll in they move to the front of the line .. because there owners are rich.. I am not..
But I am literally days away from paint and body being done.. .. I am just feeling worn out on all the things that have been going on with my car and parts ect.. I just need to get back to enjoying this hobby vs feeling beat up by it.. it doest help that its winter in New England.. so things slowdown..

Hang in there, don’t get discouraged! Sometimes getting the last 10% done seems to take 90% of the effort. No shame in taking a week or two off...it usually helps me so I don’t rush the outcome and make mistakes. Just “embrace the suck” and keep making forward progress. When you get there, it’ll all be worth it!
