I guess the good news is that they aren't trying to hide anything from you and do a quick fix hoping you won't notice it. At least it will be done right when is done.

Hang in there. It's going to be so cool when it's finished.
You are so correct Emma, just frustrating after all this time and MONEY I have spent. The good thing he did was take pictures of it together so he did have proof so I kinda believe him and he did have pictures of the scrathces and there were many of them. Since the front end has ghost flames in it they are worried that they will not be able to fix the scratches without getting into the flames.

If they can fix them then all is good, if they can't they will have to re-assemble the front, re-sand, re-tape the ghost flames, re-shoot the ghost flames, re-clear, re-wet sand etc.... which will cost him A LOT OF MONEY so the owner is as sick as I am at this point. This has turned out to be some exensive belt buckles. I told them next time assemble it naked which kinda broke the tension in the air.

I do give him credit for being honest with me. It is a mistake and they are making it good and really that is all I can ask but it is just so darn aggravating to be so close after so long.

Some of my friend don't really believe I own a truck, LOL they think I steal picture off the internet since it has been so long.

So as they say on Camaro 5
