Maybe the op owns 2 cars now. He has 2 ins and BOS. He dealt with a pretty shady guy. That needs a beating. Kim
a lot of that sounds really typical of resto work in body shops, but it's sad to say that.
YOu have a title.
GO pick up the car and bring a police escort. Simple. And if the car isn't there, he has to immediately produce it or be arrested for grand theft.

You have a bill of sale and a title. he issued it to you. Its up to him to produce the vehicle.

If you have a title for JH23G0A123456
...and the VIN on the car is JH23G0G987654
What car are they gonna let you take?
Of course no one of us Wishes the op any ill-will or anything like that and I definitely hope he gets everything that he paid for but I'm thinking this crook sold that car to several people...There is also the possibility that neither car exists any longer. He may have sold them both off long ago and just stringing the op along. I hope this is not the case. Kim
Sorry, J-Par, I haven't told you my whole life story but I've "been in the Hobby" for 30 years. Cars I've owned and worked on and hauled across country multiple times.......2 -1969 superbees, 2 -1969 Coronet 440, 1 -'65 Dart charger, 3 -1968 Barracuda Notchbacks 1 was 318 4 spd, and 2 were 318 727, 1 -1970 Challenger 340.Also one more thing I have to add is the Op was never in the "hobby"...
you have to have a car to begin with and then you have to have it at home and work on it and you have to do something with it not just get ripped off by a thief..
In my opinion the hobby never began..
If the Op ever wants to get actually into the hobby he needs to buy a car put it on a trailer or as a matter of fact put it on the trailer or on a truck then buy the car.... Take it home and work on it.. and if at some point it needs repair Beyond his abilities he needs to research shops..
Yeah, bout 2.5 hrs. I know it's close enough to just go get it. But, he moves it into storage and he's "out of town", it's now in his friends garage, now it's at is house, blah blah blah. I'm 100% he's not telling the truth. If he's not, then his life must be hell, the amount of excuses and BS he comes up with is insane. Pathological/professional liar.Your what, a 2 hr drive from this car?
Should already be in your posession and moving fwd with legal action, if required.
Body shop hell is self inflicted.
haha, well, in all fairness I was trying to be patient with this guy, but I"m out of patience and that's why I came to the forum. I didn't know even where to start. I'm putting some of the advice from this discussion to use now. I didn't have any experience dealing with this kind of shady practices.You are not taking action and you are not utilizing tools and resources at your disposal to rectify the situation.
you know I wanted to write it on a piece of paper and then take a picture of it next to the date and the time for today because I knew what you were going to say.... You're going to get upset and turn your frustration back on me when it should be solely on you..Sorry, J-Par, I haven't told you my whole life story but I've "been in the Hobby" for 30 years. Cars I've owned and worked on and hauled across country multiple times.......2 -1969 superbees, 2 -1969 Coronet 440, 1 -'65 Dart charger, 3 -1968 Barracuda Notchbacks 1 was 318 4 spd, and 2 were 318 727, 1 -1970 Challenger 340.
This is the first time I've attempted to let someone else do a full paint job and I wanted to build a car from the ground up. Never had to deal with this crap before, and I'm reminded every time I try to let someone else do something for me....This is why I do it myself.
If you just want to be negative and not offer up any meaningful advice, then why comment?
I realize that I may walk away with nothing but I'm asking the wealth of knowledge on these forums for advice on how to make the best attempt at getting something out of this deal.
By the way, I did actually go down there and get a bunch of parts from him at some point. Although a bit junky but I could sell them and possibly recover a couple grand. Better than a sharp stick in the eye.

I wasn't frustrated with you, just the fact you say stuff you have no idea about. You don't know me or my history. I thought since you were making assumptions about me I'd fill you in. You talked about how I'm not in the hobby because I asked someone else to work on my car.you know I wanted to write it on a piece of paper and then take a picture of it next to the date and the time for today because I knew what you were going to say.... You're going to get upset and turn your frustration back on me when it should be solely on you..
and now knowing the fact that you've been through all this and in the hobby for this long and letting this happen..
What's that saying about knowing better but doing it anyways...
This is just as much my forum as it is anybody else's...
Like everybody is saying, don't talk about it be about it...
Go get your crap and stop the bleeding...
Bahahaha... now I'm defending the guy and I'm a thief LOL you need to ask around pal...I wasn't frustrated with you, just the fact you say stuff you have no idea about.

I started this thread three days ago to get advice on how to go about taking tougher action. Now that I have some kind of direction I can move forward with a bit more knowledge on how to legally get my stuff. I haven't blamed anyone but myself on this and I was just warning other people to avoid dealing with this guy because he'll try to cheat you.
You sound like you are defending this guy, you must be like him and make deals like he does, must have similar business practices. Oh sorry did I make an assumption about you without knowing you? Sorry about that. I'll remember to avoid any of your classifieds too.
Thanks for your wise advice, I'll just go get the car then. So simple why didn't I think of that?
Oh so did I make an assumption about you without knowing you? Again, I apologize. I've also been around this site for 10 years! Ha! Beat that! Don't be offended.Bahahaha... now I'm defending the guy and I'm a thief LOL you need to ask around pal...
I've been on the site for over 5 years now and you won't find anybody that says anything like that about me...
You'll find a big group of people who don't like the things I say but you'll never find anybody that I've done bad deals with..
okay I will unwatch the thread now and just as long as you don't quote me I won't read what you have to say you can go ahead and get the last word...
