    Sounds like a bunch of yo-yos to me, who might this shop be, or if you don't want to name, what town or state are we talking about? This will help the rest of us from getting shafted like it sounds like they did to you.

      I would add .the owner should pick up any unused or old parts as they become available.( they get in the way and can get lost ) If you dont want them let the shop know !The owner should "stop" in and check on progress from time to time.(dont be a pest & dont hang out for hours) but show some intrest.If it is a long distance insist on weekly photos of progress. E mails cheap. On big jobs payments should only be made for work completed or parts "installed".Most important....make sure the shop knows what you expect the finished job to be. Dont get mad when your show & shine cruzer only gets a low 3rd flight or when you get a bill for 3 days labor for cleaning the underside of your car that no one will ever see.....last thing..ask questions...Bill

        I also have a friend who took his 1962 to Ron's for a body off restoration.Ron's told him a year for the job,it took three years and constant calls. We even had a yearly visit with him at his spot in Carlisle. Same answer every time, "It should be done in a few months.Eventually he farmed the car out to someone else in Mass. to finish the car. Geoffrey is on the money. This is a place you should stay away from.
