Em,
I truly understand that things may take a little longer than expected but after 9 years my patience are gone. I think I am being fed a bunch of BS. Basically what he has done for the past 2 weeks is string me along knowing he would not be done, all the while taking my money consistently stating that he would make the deadline and " Don't worry , I will be done" Only last week did he come up with the scratch story.

Everything you mentioned that still needs to be completed still sounds like A LOT of work and at least another 3 weeks considering wiring and all the little finish work is a PITA. That doesn't include all the extra paint work and the future scratched paint from installing hard brake lines with out ant sort of body protection. The next time you stop buy you should put painters tape all over the vehicle to stop the scratches.

That was the story he gave me 2 weeks ago and all signs pointed that way. Whn I looked at my truck Friday, I took my Uncle and little boy because I was under the impression that I would be seeing alot more " Completed " than I did. Because they were there was the reason I didn't act like a complete fool.
While I did see the basic shell of the truck what appeared to be assembled it only looks assembled. The bed only has 4 bolts loosely holdy the bed on the frame, the gas tank has not been mounted, no brake lines ran, no rear calipers installed. As you can see from the pictures the rear wiring is just hanging down and has not been completed.
None of the door assembly has taken place as far as the window, regulators, wiring for the power windows, window channels, window rubber etc...
I see alot of work that needs to be done, now the kicker is he wants more money, yes more money. After spending nearly ALOTof money he isn't getting anymore money. The agreement was for him to be completed Feb 28, 2011 and now I will hold his feet to the fire on this. On way or the other he will finish this truck or pay the price.
