I agree completely. I'm constantly second guessing my choice of Gunmetal Grey over this Viper Blue color every time a see another pic of it from a different angle.

...And off she goes - back to the bodyshop yesterday morning.
Made a quick stop at the alignment shop on the way there (a story for another time) and then across the street to the body shop.
The car is due to be there for a week or ten days, which is OK, 'cuz I'm outta town for work for most of that time starting today anyway.

RC - If I had to do the kind of work you have been doing to get my car happening again, I don't think I could do it. There's no comparison between my unbolting the car & putting it back together and the rebuilding of virtually everything that you are doing.

I obviously got in on this one a bit late, but from the pics I've seen, it looks like a really square car, and it should look nice painted. What's the color? It kinda looks like Viper blue, but pics are hard to tell. Anyhow, can't wait to see it in paint.

No new progress to report as I have been working a string of long days with no time for car stuff....
Plus it seems restomikes issues are spreading across the country. Went to the body shop to check on progress - there has been none.......
....seems their painter quite last week....:doubt:

Chit.. Could be good though. If they hire an experienced painter, he'll want to do a good job to impress the new boss.
Just don't let someone "learn" on your car.
Hope it works out.

Well - one of the reasons I went there in the first place is that the guy who owns the place has a reputation as a great painter....as did the (former) employee.
Sounds like the boss is going to take care of it personally, but it justs adds more time to the ETA because they are now "backlogged" ....
I would rather be at the tail - end of a backlog than have them rush to get mine done for a specific time, so I told him to take care of "rush" projects before doing mine....

Good thinking!
The last thing you want to do is go in like a Hardass and demand it get done NOW!
I can sympathize with that shop owner - relying on employees sometimes is a difficult thing to do, but its' nothing like having to do it all yourself!
But it would be wise to keep checking on it, just to make sure it doesn't stay on the backburner. A little progress at a time is not dificult, even for a shop that is backlogged.
