Jim,
I have a friend that had his Model T in a body shop after being in an accident (not his fault). The body shop got in trouble and sold off boxes of his Model T parts to pay the bills just before they went bankrupt and locked their doors for the final time. It took him months to get the remaining car body and chassis out of the building. Unfortunately he didn't know the shop was in trouble until it was to late. Thankfully this was an insurance case and the insurance company had to make good on finishing the car at another shop and replace all of the missing parts.
My advise is to gather any stuff the shop doesn't need or that's done and take it home.
