So...Has Anyone Ever Had Paint/Bodywork Finished On The Originally Promise Time Schedule?

I am at that stage.
I had a good friend from school come up a couple of Sundays ago, to look at finishing my car, he has his own shop, a couple of guys working for him and does good work.
I normally do all my own paint work, but this one just has taken me too long.
He drove over to my house one weekend.
He looks the car over, rubs it down, says its real straight, and he can get it in his shop in the beginning of September, it would be done in a month.
He said he would call me this week for a price quote, he never called to give me a price?
I have already done the work to the sides, stripped, new 1/4s finished in, engine compartment painted, just needs the roof and trunk lid stripped and prepped. Just no time on my end to finish.
I am actually having second thoughts about letting him do it, since he cannot pick the phone up to give me a price.
I have known the guy for over 40 years.

I may just finish it myself this winter.
