    Here are some photos of how she was sitting when I went to go look at it, and then where it sits now in my garage.

    Brian the owner "SAYS" he is going to pay to have it fixed. Jack the guy actually working on it, is just a pile of shit. Brian is a good guy, but after Jack showing his true colors in a nice little text I got from him it shows he is talking defense. Which means he knows he fucked up big time.

    I should know something within a week on where my truck is going to, and this time he won't be doing the work. I will have contact with another shop. I'm just waiting on Brian to set it up. I talked to him on the phone tonight for 2 hours getting this taken care of. Now is his time to show me some progress, he has till the end of next week, until I submit a claim agaist Jack and him.

    Enjoy the trash photos...

    they were only supposed to be painting it and they've had it a year? looks like all they did was sand enough of the paint that you cant get away without painting it now

    wow! that is just shitty man, sorry you gotta deal with that bs. like you said though, at least it wasn't stolen or anything. my buddy is in the marines and had his 2000 mustang in a shop around jacksonville, NC. long story short, this shop that was supposed to be damn good, the owner got into some shady deals and started chopping cars. my buddy was in afghanistan and when he got back he found out from his friend (who had a car there as well) that the shop went under and the owner got arrested and all that. he lost the car, had a stroker motor he was going to put in, heads, exhaust, etc, all gone. insurance covered most of it, but it was still a shitty thing to deal with.

    Is this the same shop that did your c-notches too?

    I should have news by the end of next week if my truck is going to another shop or not, and Brian is suppose to be paying for it. We will see, this is the last chance, until I put it in the hands of a judge/jury.

    Update.

    The truck has been dropped off at another local shop (8 miles from my house) and the whole truck is being painted. I was told it's going to take about 4-5 weeks to complete.

    They will be taking it down to metal and fixing any issues the last shop fucked up, body wise. They are getting a new tailgate, and taking out the one dent (door ding) that is on the truck.

    I will be paying a pretty penny for this work, but the paint job has a lifetime warranty to the clear coat fade/peel, and any cracks ect in the paint.

    I will be stopping by each weekend to grab photos of the progress and post them here.

    Should be done by March 8th.

    just wondering how much a full paint job costs? I had probably close to 200 hours in mine, although a good 80 was sanding the clear and polishing. I spent 2k just in materials, didn't buy junk though. Same color too?

    I'm paying 5k, painting it the same color, exterior only. Paid 1,500 upfront. 3,500 when complete.

Second, all that shit you dealt with at the old shop is pretty rough dude. Good looks to you for keeping your cool, I would've flipped a shit by this point

    About to call the shop. I forgot to ask them to shave the antenna mount on the passenger side since I don't use it.

    Stopped by the shop Saturday before some Disk Golf. It was in the paint booth, the front half that is. The bed, bed cover, and tailgate were all sitting on the side. Didn't get any photos, but overall it's looking great, they said it would be done in about 1-2 weeks.

    I just dropped another 1,100 on hotchkis sway bars, tubular tranny crossmember, driveshaft loop and some other shit, getting it all from Richard.
