Thank you to all my Pontiac brothers for the encouragement.

I'll be contacting the painter to **** or get off the pot, AND that I'll be making a trip to visit his shop within the coming weeks. At a minimum, I have to see what the status of the car is and gather any parts not attached to the car. If there's a commitment on his end to finish it within the following 4 weeks (which is very doable) I'll let him finish, do the bare minimum of what he promised, and deliver it back to me. If he's balks at the idea of wrapping it up, I leave and return with a trailer (that I have to borrow) and bring it home. I'll take the major hit on the money I lost and get on with life. From what I do know, there was a fair amount of work done on it, but I have no idea where they stopped.

Until I learn more, I can't elaborate on anything else.

Why wait a couple of weeks? Why give him another chance? How many commitments to finish has he already given you, that weren't honored? Cut your losses. Maybe you should take the advice you were going to give him.

A friends truck was held hostage for over 5 years. He finally got it back, painted, but unassembled. Parts missing. Paint job was nothing to write home about.
