Well I guess I hit a gold mine of opinions on this topic. Fortunately, I took most of MARTINSR's advice before I was able to read it. I would have really felt bad otherwise. I am paying as I go for work done and checking in once or twice a week. I check the bill tally every month and have even used the wife as a motivator to get done... "My wife is all over me about how that truck is still not done!" He has only 4 stalls and my cab is the only thing with dust on it!! The shop is generally a mess but with only two guys, there's not much time for clean up. I have even offered my mechanic services or grunt work for free!! He's too proud though, I think. I'm going to keep on keepin on. Once the cab gets back I can stay busy for a month while he starts taking his time with the fenders and doors. Thanks again for the support
