Is there still hope it will actually be completed or was that delivery date just to get it out of his posession?

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

hope is all i have, that it'll actually be completed by him, but yes he said it would be finished(again)..:waah:

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

want me to run by there for you and snap some pics... IIRC his shop is in Deer Park

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

I Can Answer For Him....yea Buddy!

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

whats the address? and also i can recommend another body shop in the area... he did my bike and is VERY reasonable on custom paint. should you choose to let him do it for you, i will borrow a trailer and pick your truck up from deer park and haul it for you over to another shop. No charge this time.

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

That happened to a local shop near me and screwed a bunch of guys. Hope you get your truck back.

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

68SS,

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I had a similar problem when I had the interior done in my 48. I just don't get why some people find it so hard to treat people decently or honestly. Issues like that are why I try to do everything myself, even if I end up messing it up and having to re-do it. Sad part is, that if had been honest with you and communicated what was going on, you would have been upset, but not to the point of wanting to sue him. I hope everything works out. Take care.

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

wow the last hour i read through the whole thread and then came to this. OMG this sucks!!! It happened with Lil' Red and I will never let another paint shop paint my hot rods again. Gonna paint them myself!

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

Sorry to hear about this...i'm sure u'll get it back one way or the other.
There must be a way u can contact the shop owner directly... if the truck is taking up space there, if sure he'd gladly let u pick it up.

maibe the chamber of comerce has the addres of the owner of the store or at least the legal owner .
he might be locked out of his store himself when he owes money to either the bank or the taxman

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

any updates? i might be down in that area this weekend,ill try to stop by a check things out.hopefully everything is good with your truck. Carlos "acted" like a nice guy when i met him a while back.

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

ok after a deal was made with the actual owner the shop carlos operates out of, i was able to make a deal and get my truck painted and back.......CARLOS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BODYWORK OR PAINT OF THIS TRUCK.


REPEAT::::CARLOS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BODYWORK OR PAINT OF THIS TRUCK.

Hey did they paint the metal woodstrips black or can u order em that way?

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
 

the wood strips are painted black, i was wanting to keep them polished aluminum, but the black gives it a mean look.. its growing on me..

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
