I am doing my own restoration as well. After being shafted by Anthony's AutoBody in Naples Florida where I was scammed for $8500- I gave them 3 deposits at different intervals. They had my 66 for a year and did nothing to it and repeatedly told me that restoration was well in process and "it's going to paint". And then after I was shafted by another guy on the side- gave him 2K and he disappeared. I had the move the Bronco and all the parts twice. Now the restoration is being done by me in half of a tiny 20 X 22 garage.
Lesson learned- Never, ever give any money up front for any work. I'll pay daily or weekly if necessary based on the work after it's done and agreed to. If the shop says no there off my list for business.
I complain about this body shop every chance I get, submitted a complaint to BBB and Florida Agriculture as well. I will continue to complain about them when I show my Bronco at all the local car shows as well.
