I expected the body work to take 10 to 14 days with the 2 guys doing it. However the body work seemed to move very slowly and mostly on weekends. I came to find out that they were only working part time in the evenings but even at that I expected things to go faster that they were. Week after week I would stop by and saw little progress on the body panels.
The owner of DNA was only at his shop part time and it was clear that without direct management the body guys were not putting much effort into the project. Eventually what really frustrated me is that the body guys logged hundreds of hours against my bill but did very little for way too much money. It became clear they were shafting me, and I became angry!
After a month and a half at the end of December they had primed and sanded the cab about 80% of the process to be ready for paint. For over a month they had been charging me outrageous hours but not producing much. At this point I did not what them to continue on the project, they were terminated.
Since this time I have learned that a good body man could do the priming and sanding on this truck in about 8 days for about 1/4 the cost of what I paid for the labor for the pictures below.
