Yeah, I totally understand. I have one car that is on its 29th month in the
shop, for what started out as accident repair. Its motor is on a stand in my
carport, after they pulled it to fix the radiator support.
I just dropped off my 67 MGB project, but I tried to impress on this shop that
it was (1) NOT a show-quality restoration, and (2) I wanted it back in this
calendar year. Weâ??ll see...
