Should be able to re-hang the panels Monday night... the shop is supposedly going to work on it all week and get it done. They admitted they took in too much insurance work and had been putting my car to the side. Now that we're on the same page things should move forward rapidly.

Its also good there taking there time because it will be worth the wait and you can`t rush body shops cuz thats how you end up with a shitty job. I still can`t wait to see this when its all done, wish my TA had a targa top.

Yep I used to be an insurance adjuster... I know how it is from the other side 
When a repair is supposed to take 3 days we want it to take 3 days... any longer and we start calling 
And yes... I don't want it rushed... I stressed that to them and they are 100% on the same page with me. I said I'd rather you take longer and **** me off than rush it and make me have to bring it back.

gonna be dope when its done, definite thumbs up for doing so much to this car to make it one of a kind. and little update. i got your roof perfect. its actually round and flat now instead of square and a triangle. and i absolutely hate blocking vette fill, jesus i hate it but shes all good now. should be getting sprayed today. Joey finished the bumpers yesterday and there gorgeous. All thats left to paint is whats on the car, and the little pieces. Be prepared to start putting this thing together on monday. Car is gonna be outrageously gorgeous and i demand a ride in it to the car shows !!!!. haha.
