any updates?

[Donnie]

at this point I still have no updates.
I was suppose to have the car back from sheet metal work sometime in June.
body guy had things come up and I understand that no problem.
so I figure sometime in Augest.
but its now getting to the point that getting the car back home, off the frame and media blasted before winter isn't going to happen.
and if it doesn't I wont get the frame done over winter. and the body wont get painted over winter.

Donnie;

Bodyguy said my car should be ready to come home by next weekend barring any more unforeseen obstacles. Your car is next in line, and he informed me that he's going to do everything in his power to get it wrapped up a.s.a.p.

FWIW, don't feel too lonesome...my Chevelle was supposed to be completed somewhere around April/May, but with Bodyguy #2 being called out of town three...no, make that <span style="font-style: italic">four</span> times now for extended periods of time (he's out of town again as we speak covering the East Coast storm damage), Bodyguy #1 was left to fend for himself--that on top of having to help Dale's widow get things sorted out, and the next thing you know we're both running ~5 months behind schedule.

Trust me...he's just as frustrated as we, if not moreso.

With any luck my Chevelle will be out of there next weekend, and your Chevelle shouldn't be far behind.

I wouldnt pizz that body guy off...few and far between like that anymore, he cares and can get the job done right...most are the good enough class or dont really know what they are doing....he is doing some Real nice work for you guys.

My car will be leaving the shop bright &amp; early Monday morning. I will be helping Bodyguy move Donnie's Chevelle over where my Chevelle has been so he has room to work on it.

Bodyguy has a quickie water pump job to knock out on another car Monday morning, then he's on yours until it's done. Again, his frustration level resulting from all the unforeseen delays rivals both of ours put together, and we'll leave it at that.

I will still be going out there now &amp; then for a few other miscellaneous things, and I'll help as much as I can and try to grab whatever update shots I can when I'm there. Bodyguy can provide some pics too, but I wouldn't push that issue too hard since he's already got so much on his plate to try to get caught up now.

Look for some updates soon, and thanks for being so patient and understanding. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
