Broken in? Eh, who cares about that....

Now I've broken many engines... does that count?

Curtis, who's doing the paint and body? I just don't understand why some guys take soooo long to get these done? Not saying it's his fault but if he has the spot for your car and you have the funds it really doesn't take that long to do full paint and body!! Or is it just going to be a while before he has the slot for your car?

And yes I know ALL the factors that go into P&B work been doing it since the 80's

Rick,

I'll chime in on this because it's the same guy doing my paint on the 55 and also did Malitude for Jody. He is a one man show and does this at his shop at his house. He works full time at a shop doing collision work by day and burns the midnight oil doing what he really loves...Hot Rods by night. Currently he is finishing a very high end complete Restoration on a 1967 Shelby. This car isn't in for just paint - but a complete restoration that will drive out of his shop. Seeing what he has gone through on this to make sure it is "Correct" by Shelby standards just validates why I like doing custom work instead. Once the Shelby is done my car and Curtis' will probably slide in together and get tag teamed. We all want our stuff done now but we knew what we signed up for. Good things come to those who wait!

as long as the clients are aware of the situation all is good.

And yes I agree as I've done the 100 point show car resto's and they can get way to crazy with the small chalk marks

Very true Vince, and most times the client is NOT in the loop on what's going on.


Sounds like you guys are in good hands for sure!!

Thanks for jumping in and answering that one. Couldn't agree more that it's worth the wait.

Agreed! Clear communications are super important and we've all seen what the lack of can lead to.

You know it! Not going to lie...I'd love it if the car was being working on right now, but it's so going to be worth the wait and extra time.
