Just beyond pulling out my hair, worried about damage I may not see. The engine bay is complete, the outside has been fixed up and vertical doors were put on less than two months ago.
I live in Cumming, Ga (45 minutes north of Atlanta) and the work is being completed by a company in Buford, Ga.

Well the nightmare is over, they called and said the car was ready, I went to pick it up and as you would guess the car is dirty as he**, been driven 280 miles from the time I dropped it off and picked it up. The heavy discount was not applied, I just paid the full price, did not make conversation, did not thank them, did not complain, just got my car and drove the he** away from there.
The brakes are very soft, so I will have to take to another known shop to have them look at them to make sure they are ok.
Just a nightmare all the way around. Thanks to all who let me vent

Glad you finally got it back Keith. I'm sure it was extremely difficult to take that approach when you picked it up. I don't think I could have. But then again, after the whole ordeal, I'm sure you were just numb to it all and just wanted to move on with bigger and better days. Good luck and post back up with the brakes and let us know if you got the pedal back to feeling right.

Don't let it go. It's time to get your money back. And I mean all of it. 300 miles for testing brakes, no. Soft brakes, no. Over a month, no. This has mistreatment all over it. Call a lawyer friend and see what can be done. And at the very least, if nothing can be done, light them up on social media....facebook and google. And repost it every now and again.
I did the same thing for Linksys when I bought a product from them and they sent me a broken one. Hours on the phone trying to get it worked out and trying to get it working. They even wanted me to pay for shipping their junk back and the new one out. I lit them up on social media and every time they had a deal listed on slick deals, I posted the story. It was costing them money as their regional rep called me less than hour after I posted the story on a deal they posted and 3 people replied saying thanks for the heads up, they would buy elsewhere. Linksys not only refunded all of my money but sent me the most advance router they had at the time in compensation. Took a month for them to own up.

They drove it 280 miles?
thats excessive - a trip around the block would be enough to confirm the brakes were working correctly.I hope for all your trouble the powder coating at least look good now

Honestly, I pulled into the garage and have not even went back out to look at it. I am just really trying to digest this as I am normally a very vocal person when it come to customer service as that is the industry I work in. But I am at a point, that it is over with now, I have two more things to do to the car and then I am done customizing the car. The Laguna Blue calipers are sharp and will look even better once I get the car clean.
Stingray - I appreciate your comments and normally I would but I am just tired, I worried about everything that could happen to that car for four weeks, just exhausted at this point. I will be watching the corvette clubs facebook page because in another couple of days I will post my experience on Yelp and Google.
Thanks Again to all
