How much more can I take????

[HemiOrange70]

After getting screwed by the first body shop ( after 2.5 years and lots of $$$$) I found a new guy who is great. THen the new rear window doesn't fit, I have the wrong hood latch assembly, I bought hood hinges(ebay), sent for resto and they come back with no springs. After missing many parts and alot of ebay deals gone wrong ( wrong seat belts, dash pieces etc) I go to get my headliner in today and it is the wrong one or just doesn't fit. My engine came in1800 over . restoing a car builds character. I would like to add that all the goo people here with stuff, info and parts is a bright side to it all.

I know how it goes , I have virtually everything redone waiting to go back into the car but the body shop is taking their time doing their part , I was supposed to have the body back by March & they are nowhere near done yet

That might be the truest statement ever made concerning these old cars.....

That might be the truest statement ever made concerning these old cars.....   

not to mention the comraderie, and lifelong friendships that are forged for a common goal.

I have seen the same thing with shops in the past.  Glad to hear that you found a good one.  I took my car to a really "good" shop (that's what everyone told me) and the guy didn't touch my car for 6 months and stashed all of my new uncoated sheetmetal outside in the rain.    I could have rung that guys neck...

Anyway, I gave up on "shops" period and started my own at home!     What I found out is that I am slow too...   

I have been 6 years and still don't have it painted.

Hang in there...
