I have a question on the Dynacorn vert: wouldn't it make more financial sense to find a nice, dry original vert body and build on that? I'm sort of curious as to the resale value (if it came to that) of one of these Dynacorn bodies as there's no original VIN or trim tag. I definitely see the upside to buying one--no body work!! </div></div>

&quot;nice, dry original vert body&quot; that is the huge problem right there. To try and find even a shell that needs alot of work is getting to be a very challenging. Barrett Jackson and Mecum have made everyone believe they are sitting on gold regardless of what they have.

The other shop I use is in Washington and the DMV is pretty flexible there. We can have the car inspected and issued a new VIN and title rather than trying to move from one to the other. I am not sure I believe that it is appropriate in most any cases to move from one body to another. For us it will be an experiment, if it all works out I will be pleasantly surprised.

Yes, this is true. I suppose it is much harder to find a dry 'vert body out there than a hardtop.

Not sure if you checked with the Arizona resources here on the boards, but perhaps you might get lucky finding a nice shell.

Again, I definitely can see the upside to using a Dynacorn body. And the DMV must be able to assign a VIN to the body. Otherwise, unless they were used drag cars, those complete shells would be worthless.

At the very least they should be plastered all over the net so that everyone is familiar with the cons and who they are and not bring cars to them. Eventially they will be out of business for good and onto another way to con people out of their money. What I cannot stand is how it makes us reputable shops guilty until proven innocent. Reputation is everything in this business.

Glad everything finally worked out for you Todd.

Congrats Todd. That has to be one HEAVY load off of your mind. Good luck in the new projects.

The company that I had all the difficulty with is Classic Cars of Mchenry County Inc. - I dont have thier exact address but thier website is www.camarosrestored.com.

I would not recommend anyone do business with them and advise anyone you know of the same.

I will post some quick pictures of my coupe that received the $10k paint job over the past 11 months. My guy used words like it looks like someone washed it with Scotch Brite and the gaps are so bad you could slide a cat between them.

In all I could give a sh*t about the quality of the work. I will have the car stripped and done right if I have to. I am just glad these guys no longer have my car(s) or my money. Every dog has thier day - lets just say I believe in karma.

Here is a few pics that I received of the car. I am going to go inspect in person but here is an example of how I got screwed.
