Okay here's the problem.  I took my wife's 76B into the body shop at the
beginning of November.  Work to be done was replacing the floor panels,
repair a few dents, and a nice paint job.  I had stripped the car
completely down in order to make the paint job easier.  We were told that
the job would take about 3 weeks.  5 months later the car is just primered
and still needs a little more hand work before painting.  It seems that the
shop has been busy with insurance work and my car gets worked on maybe a
few hours out of the week if that.  I haven't complained yet but I stop by
occasionally to see the progress when I'm in the area.  Several times the
owner has told me that he wishes he hadn't taken on the job and this is the
reason why they don't restore more cars.  I'm thinking that it would have
been nice to know that before I brought it in.  I don't want to make waves
because the work done so far has been really nice, but it is my wifes car
and she is starting to get a little frustrated.

Should I demand that they finish my car pronto or should I just wait for
them?
