I insisted it be done this fall, so time will tell. At this point keeping it there for winter frees up a tad of garage room for the winter. Retirement is scheduled for the 27th of December this year. Time to assemble it will be my new employment (aside from driving my wife insane).That's awesome that they have started to make progress!
Unfortunately, I have found that seems to be the standard with body shops, they often take in these completes and use them as fillers between the production work that actually pays the bills for most of them. That's great that rvrtrash's shop took the owner's time into consideration and gave them some incentive for it. I have been told by some friends that their shop told them up front that they priced it as a filler car and if they wanted it quicker it would cost more. Ryunker, I hope it gets painted soon for you guys, if they get it done by early spring, hopefully that will give you enough time to assemble, and get her on the road next summer.
Congrats on your retirement! The reassembly will be a great transaction activity, along with driving your wife insane. Yes, I am right down the street from Mokena and New Lenox, small world, haha.I insisted it be done this fall, so time will tell.

Hmmm, Homer Glen? Very close to my old stomping grounds of New Lenox and Mokena.
OK Vern, you've never painted a car and want some practice. I'm sending my Mustang down to Australia so you can have at it.... I'd like it painted Grabber Blue please!I haven't painted a car before but I really get it off on the paint fumes. And I need some experience and practice.
Send it down to Aus and I'll have a go at it for you.
What is the color? Nice looking blue!I’m with you! Been in PSP since May ‘23. It’s just a slow process and also, I have a family so I haven’t been able to pay all upfront. Just waiting for engine work and reassembly. I’m very happy with the work and progress overall. It will be worth it in the end but it’s hard living without my baby. Here is a sneak preview.
