Well after talking with some legal advisors I now have to get at least two estimates for the cost to finish and fix what is wrong from some other shops. Then send him a certified letter requesting that money and if he fails to do that, then the court system will get involved.
There is so much more that lies beneath the surface on this that I can't really say right now but does not look good for him.
The good part, if any, is that I have invoices where I was charged for certain things like paint work and pictures that show this is not completed. Chips in the paint, missing bolts in the motor, dip stick flopping in the wind, A/C was not charged...common everyday things that most lay people ( Jury) will understand.
As much as I love this truck...it really is a simple vehicle and not some exotic. It's a Chevy truck for Pete's sake.
You know the funny thing is if the paint was a show quality paint job, I could deal with the mechanical issues....kinda would bring back good memories of wrenching on it with my uncle years ago, even though I paid to have it done.
BUT with the paint issues it has it is not even worthy to show right now, even if the motor didn't run, tranny didn't shift, wiring all jacked up it would still look good in the garage or at a show while I worked on the mech issues, but I can't even fo that.
I am pretty good at maintaining a vehice and polishing it up but I cant polish paint back on a vehicle...I haven't mastered that yet...and shouldn't have to.
