Charges for the restoration of '51 Chevy Pickup esculated into the thousands of dollars and only produced semi completed body work. New fenders were ordered, but lost after being sent out to be sandblasted. Old fenders in perfect shape to restore. Told truck was ready for paint, when hood and driver's fender well meeded more work. Advised that motor could be gone thru for $1000 plus the M21 tranny. Charged $1500 for paint materials when truck was not near paint stage... Owner got $2100 back but still paid $10,000 in body work charges. Appointments were set and missed by Shop owners, persistence by truck owner finally got some money back. Truck is in pieces today.
