Not happy with my mechanic!

I very rarely have someone else work on my vehicles. But when I do I would always take them to a guy the next town over. He is an old school drag racer guy that I have know of for years and would hear his name way back when I was drag racing. Anyway, I was replacing the rear end in my truck and when it came to doing the rear brakes I ran out of steam and had it towed to his shop last thursday. he told me it won't take long and should be around a hundred bucks. I had all new parts for the brakes and asked him to install the front wiring harness fro the tail lights (I already installed the lights and rear harness), put in a new u-joint (that I had given him), and adjust the rear end because I put in an adjustable track arm. That was last thursday at around 1030 am. I stopped by at 530 pm that day and he hadn't even pulled it in the shop. He told me that he had two quick jobs in the morning and he would get to the truck. Friday-nothing. He is closed sat and sun. I called him monday and he said he was still fighting with it and would call me. Yesterday (Tuesday) I call and he said he needs a plunger for one of the wheel cylinders because I forgot to send one with the truck. I find one in the garage and take it to him. I take a look at the truck and he has only put the brake parts on. The new wiring harness is still not in the driveline is not in and the rear end has not been adjusted. He tells me he should have it done by 530. Nothing. Now I'm waiting for his call today and nothing yet. I could have done all the work within a couple of hours out in my driveway. Next time I'll do it myself or take it to Les Schwab for brakes! Just had to vent!
