I do know Ryan and have asked him for help finding a good body guy a few times. He doesn't have those kinds of resources.
Yea the body guy probably spent way to much time fabbing up floor pans, the darn thing was only $149 had he just bought it. The passenger area floor pan is also a single plain sheet of metal. It doesn't bother me to much since most of it is under the seat. what does bother me is all the time he spent fabbing steel it likely cost more than just buying it.
Each week I dropped by to do a status check, more and more stuff was cut away. This sucks. I learned an important life lesson, trust your gut.
I've asked for estimates constantly, and he can never provide one. All i get is from him is 15 min long monologues of excuses, which has worked for him up until now, cause i seem this project at the end of the budget, and it doesn't even look half done.
He's telling me know it wont cost $20k with paint, but I don't know how I can trust him. I wish I had wen't with the original guy that wanted $2k upfront for the work, hes finished multiple cars since I backed off from having him do it. Hes even got a shop, where as my body guy has a garage.
