You're well within your rights to get all up in this business' face for this treatment. While the auto repair business is full of absolute jackasses, I wish you the best  |
Funny, but since you pointed it out, I think ALL the words I used were 4 letter words, except "cocksucker".

Great advice. Working on doing just that!

Yea, they guys has OEM parts for Shelby's and Cobras lining all the walls and hanging from the ceiling. He has a whole separate building full of original user manuals etc. He is sitting on a gold mine of parts and cars. I should have taken pics of the cars he currently has in the shop. He gets them from all over the US and is well known and gets paid big $$$$ for the work he does. I have no idea how anyone functions at that level of disorganization. My OCD would never allow that.
Getting the car out of there is not going to happen. We have no where to take it right now and its already been there for so many years, what difference does it make now???
Tim and I plan to commit one evening a week to start doing what we can to search for parts, organize and see what we are capable of tackling.
