I agree with the get it in writing.Make it specific.List requirements such as door /body panel gaps,timeline,specific tasks(such as seam sealers and such),penalties for lack of progress,quality of materials,completion date,and lack of completion penalty.If the body/paint person isn't willing to stand behind his work,and put his money/reputation on the line,then you want soeone else.

i did a surprise visit to see what state he was in and when he was gonna be able to pick up my truck.....he had another truck in the shop that he was tearing down that he just bought, the 68 that was sitting in front of the shop now torn apart to the frame and still working on the ranchero....i think this deal is a no go....no initiative to get my stuff done....

^Yup, when it comes down to it money is what pays his bills, not a toy he wants. Is there anything in your "agreement" that prohibits him from partially finishing, stopping, and requesting payment instead?
