Stir Crazy
Hey folks.
As some of you know I have a '67 Chevy LWB Fleet that I am in the process of getting it restored. Well since I don't have any body work experience it's at a body shop that this guy is very good about working on it. Well it's driving me crazy that he can't finish it fast enough for me. Yeah it still needs a ton of work and I have spent a butt load of money on replacement sheetmetal. Front fenders, inner fenders, raditor support, front & rear chrome bumpers, door skins, rocker panels, cab corners, etc. etc. I just wish it was done already and ready for paint! Aurgh!

Wish mine was that far along. Hang in there man! It'll be worth the wait.

Is this the first time you deal with a body shop? They can be a PIA to deal with. Just don't hurry them too much, they will do crappy work

Re: Stir Crazy
That's a normal feeling. Heck I am doing my own body work and I feel the same way.

Re: Stir Crazy
Yeah right now its a cab and frame right now. With the front clip missing and bed off the frame.
Hoping it will be completed either late May or June. Going to get it painted Orange and White. Should be nice once its completed.
