Gary ,they are all our favorite but Im glad it went to someone thats got the time and energy to fix it with.

I made a tough decision today and called the shop that had started working on taking my truck apart for rust repairs and told him to stop work on it. I will be sending a rollback after it and taking it elsewhere as I decided I had better options at another shop. The current shop kept changing prices after the fact so Im cutting my losses and starting over with the shop that restored our vert.

Sorry to hear that you have to change shops flash. I take it you have talked with shop #2 about your expectations. Why didn't you go with them first ?

They were extremely busy(shop #2 ) and the shop that has it currently is experienced with old Chevy trucks and I thought I would give them a chance .Shop #2 is where I had wanted it all along and I should have waited on them to work it in. It will be in good hands soon and the vert is almost ready to come home.

One comes out as another one goes in. Sounds like the classic car game. :)

Got to visit my truck the other day ,no progress yet but it will get there soon enough .

Yeah and I bet he wondered why you don't call everyday.

I got to visit my truck again yesterday or what there is left of it. My shop called and wanted me to bring the trailer and get some stuff they wont be reusing out of their way. They are making good progress .The bed is sandblasted and ready for repairs to start on it.Thr front fenders are also blasted and being repaired. The cab is being gutted ,rocker panels have been cut out .The shop owner informed me he is taking it off the frame in order to make the frame look purty (his words) .He is going to pull the engine and trans next week and has someone lined up to change out the cam and replace all the gaskets throughout ,something about my old truck bleeding all over his shop floor seems to bother him. We were discussing how it should be finished and I suggested he build it as if it were his own and with a shiteating grin he said I was going to anyway .Man Im proud I changed shops .

Any pictures?

I didnt think of taking pictures but it aint pretty ,Ill get some next week if someone will post them.
