man, the more I see these pics and think about the story you went thru, the more I want to 'visit' this guy.

You Suisse cats have such a mellow demeanor...whereas we Polish-influenced 'mericans have a 'you push me, I shove you' way of dealing with things...

Thanks for the comment Engine-Ear, I like your Polish-influenced 'mericans have a 'you push me, I shove you' way of dealing with things... way of doing things.

But as I'm not Swiss...I'm English and just happen to have been living here in Switzerland for a few years...so don't worry I'll find a way of dealing with him, but not until after I pick the cars up as I don't want them to vanish in to thin air...mind you, they may well have rusted away by now anyway

My God!! this body dude should be get his nuts in a vice, i can't believe he let a convertible sit like that without so much as a tarp over the interior, when i worked in the auto paint industry about 1 in 100 shop owners were honest, and that WAS in Oklahoma.
Be carefull with a guy this stupid, he may have a bill for outside storage fees or something, maybe a couple of thousand worth, he has to know you're pissed and might be confiscating stuff or put some type of lein on the cars, come fully loaded.

It's as much my fault as his, I should have bought tarps for them...I didn't, I should have insisted it went indoors and out of the field...but I didn't.

Yes he should have covered it up and not stuck it out to rot in the elements after sandblasting it and putting it in etch primer...but it's no use complaining about it now...what's done is done.

I spoke with the guys over there last night and the cars are still there, they are going to take a few new photos and email them to me...so we shall see how far gone there are.

They never stopped me taking the cars away and there is no question of outstanding storage bills...it's my own fault for not dealing with it sooner.

Looking back now I don't know why I didn't do anything about it years ago...I could have pulled them out of there, found storage or got someone to restore them for me over a couple of years...but I didn't! I guess it was easier not to think about them as they were thousands of miles away quietly rotting away.

Hopefully now though I can get the cars out of there and either deal with or parted out and then find myself another 65 Bonneville to drive.
