Our agreement right now stands at 1400 a week for a true 40 hour week. If he stops and takes a 30 minute phone call then he doesn’t bill you that 30 minutes. I know it sounds like horse**** but it’s what I’ve heard from several people about his reputation. My lifelong best friends brother lives in the Tampa area. He is going to drop in for me. I am supposed to get pictures and video every week showing progress. If I see something I don’t like he will fix it or if we are at an impasse then I am free to come get the car. He will not take forward payments. You pay for the weeks work after it’s completed. The only thing taken up front is materials. I have interviewed 6 body shops. He is the only one that I felt listened to me and took my wishes and desires into consideration. My daughter helped me assemble the frame when I got it back when she was 4. She painted the rails and rearend etc with a paint brush, yes it looks like a 4 year old did it but when she’s married and I give it to her I can say “hey that paint run on the rear frame rail is from you”. I asked a guy about NOT messing with the underside and he said “I have a reputation to uphold” my guy said “how sweet, if you want it left alone it’s your car, I’ll paint it pink if you want me to”. Just an all around professional guy. Look at the black paint on Caster1’ 66 GTO. If he can do that with black then there is no doubt in my mind the Shadow Gray will be awesome.
