It'll be great to see it with color! You should pull those caps and rings for safe keeping.

Yes, and have yet visited nor called. Patience is not good.

Sorry to hear that, all too often shops use complete paint jobs as filler cars between the collision work that they rely on to cover the overhead. Many body shops have been so swamped for the last couple years it is hard to get to the filler cars. My friend that runs a body shop that is always booked at least a month out. He needs a couple more body men and another painter to catch up but can't find anyone to hire. He has been offering his guys double pay for overtime to keep up with the work load as best as they can. He really enjoys working on the older cars but says it's hard to get them done around the "production work".
