There are cheaper places than year one.

Sherman auto parts carries steel body panels. Year one will buy from them. Legendary does the interior parts.

Dante at moparts is a decent guy to buy from, I have spent almost $2k with him.

Go get the car before this dude ends up filing a lien against it. I hear these stories ALL THE TIME. This is shaping up to have a BAD ending. You are in "body shop hell." This is the first stop on the way to court. He is acting like all the other people act in the stories. It sounds like he is building a case against you and he has promised this car to his friend. If you want this car at all, go get it. Don't give it away this way, with a questionable fool holding it hostage. R will have to give up a bay in the toy shed, but momma's happiness is worth it.

WHEN you pick up the car, get him to sign a waiver of some type that says he won't file a lien and all balances are paid in full including all body work and any storage or other misc fees. A mechanics lien is a tough one to get removed.

You only recourse, would be to file a lien on his property. However, he has a case where your car has been parked in his shed for nearly a DECADE! That and the "body shop fees" will eat up any claim you guys have for the slab work. Unless of course you got all the agreement in WRITING? Didn't think so.

I guess if you prepare yourself to lose the car, then this is no biggie. But I see it heading that way unless R goes and gets it, with friends and preferably a cop or the local sheriff. ('course he is prolly friends with dinky (think Porkys))

He has reneged on his part of the deal, and now is threatening to take the car too. I don't know dinky, but I know a cheat and someone to be very wary of when it comes to not doing his end of a deal. If you want the car, go get it this weekend. Which is two weeks later than last time I told you this and YEARS after I told you the first time!
