Old Goat 67 was in that same predicament with his 67 GTO. He got it out of "Jail" but took a Cop with him to do it.

This is what I've learned from advise and the "hard way". Never ever pay in full before the work is done, get and keep any receipts in a safe place because you'll probably need them before it's finished... if it gets that far. If they won't give your money back use the receipts and take them to court. Sue for you money, parts if any, and court costs. As long as you have receipts any judge is more likely to be on your side. And don't do anything stupid to get yourself in trouble.... stay smart and one step ahead the other guy. A camera and a way to record any conversations it is a definite plus too, along with a witness. And having someone with you at all times is the best and smartest thing to do when dealing with these rip-off artists.
