This has become another body shop horror story. I emailed my collection of receipts to the new body man. I will be talking to him later tonight. I put some feelers out for recommendations for an attorney. I will need to talk to a lawyer to determine whether i should pursue small claims court or have the lawyer handle the entire matter.

I believe that the money you are talkin about here is above the limit for small claims court.
Just my 2C, but you will need an expert witness and this could go on for years with appeals, etc. Be careful how you badmouth the "Dude", he might try to sue you for slander. Most attorneys will give you 30 minutes of their time and a legal opinion before taking on a case like yours. Don't forget, the "Dude" prolly has his own attorney on a retainer.
