Hemibeep, good for you telling this guy what for. I'm sure you're paying good money for the work on your car and you have every right to expect the best job possible. It's one thing to try and save money, but what good does it do for a shop owner paying someone less money, and who has less experience, only to have to do the job over again because of poor work. Stick to your guns. If that original painter dosen't come back, and even though it will drive you crazy to delay the work again, then pull the car out of there untill you find someone who will do it right.
And Basketcase, I know what you mean about not looking. I've seen a lot of 64 or 65 Barracudas lately with the 273, 4-speed combo which I'd like to have, and there was even a nice 70, 340 4-speed Duster at a good price I wish I could go look at. But like you I can't, and I don't think any of us will be able to stop looking.
