My 1970 dart swinger restoration

Gcrow, I agree with 71Dartguy, I get suspicious when someone tells me that they have a problem with me being around when they are doing anything to any of my cars. Which is why I try to do everything myself and why we are doing my sons Dart at our house. As far as the damage that has been done to your car since it has been there (dashpad for instance) they are and should be responsible for correcting it. As I looked at your progress on your Dart, I noticed the perfect dash pad and I cannot believe that this "friend" didn't ensure that all the necessary precautions were being taken. I understand your disappointment and really hope that you don't throw in the towel. I don't know what other options you have if any but at the very least, I would have a sit down with the bodyshop "friend" and explain the journey you have been on with this labor of love and get him to see the BIG PICTURE if you know what I mean. I wish you the best and take it from me, I had my Duster 16 years before I drove it for the first time and 7 more to get it to where it is now (26 years total). Believe me, you have accomplished alot, It will be worth it when it is done. Hang in there!!
