That reminds me of my worst paint jail experience from the early/mid 90s. It started out good. I was doing a foundation next door to a guy with a red 67 GTO in his driveway. We got to talking, worked out a deal, and he ended up doing a nice job painting my old 70 GTO. A year or 2 later I hit some ice on a bridge and did a few 360s in the same car. It needed both quarters, a fender, and new front bumper. I tried to use him again going through insurance this time. He took it to his bud's shop, running it through his bud's business since body work was just a side hustle for him. My insurance check got cashed and my car sat for 2 months with zero progress. I arranged to pick it up with the shop owner. Dude was late and I used bolt cutters on his lock to get it out. My door had a new crease in it that wasn't from me. I finally got my money from the shop owner and $400 for the door from the guy that was supposed to fix it. I took it to another shop that also took their time. On one of my visits to check on the car I was shocked to see his shop was deserted. I finally tracked him down to find out he moved my car and parts to his new shop without telling me. He eventually got it done, what a disaster.
