If you remember about this time last year I took my 83 El Camino to a place to have it restored for my son Cory. Well, just before Thanksgiving I get a call to come and get it out because the guy who owned the company had skipped. Not only me but about 12 others with cars in various stages of restoration were stuck. Here's the before picture

This is the inside after they left it sitting outside for several months with no weatherstrip and how it is now.

Here's my problem and maybe someone could give me some direction. They ordered interior items but of course they were all wrong. I need to figure out exactly what the colors were listed as...ie. the trim work, carpet and seats. Anyone got a clue? Thanks folks for any help.

the Good Lord has blessed me in so many ways that I can't complain. It just seems that Cory has been on the receiving end of most of this bad luck lately.
 
I learned about this place in a big write up in the B'ham news. I went and talked with them. Looked at all the rides they were working on etc, etc. They had some fine cars too. Seems he has neglected to pay federal, state, and local taxes for some time. I'm lucky I got the car back...the landlord only gave me 48 hrs to get it out (although he'd regretted not letting me get it ;) ) Hopefully, things will work out....its only money ya know.
 
where the car was built, what color of paint etc. Unfortunately it doesn't look too good from your pics and here's why. Many year ago my dad gave a guy his '57 chevy with the idea that it would be painted and a few minor body problems taken care of. 8 weeks later, my dad take possession of the car, stripped down to the bare metal and left outside for weeks. The guy is gone. We get it to another painter and he does the best he can and the car originally looks really good then the rust starts. Bubbles under the paint everywhere. Eventually had to sell if because he couldn't afford to put any more money in it and it would be a shame for it to just rust into a heap. It was really sad as it was his pride and joy. Good luck but be very vigilant when you get it back.

.... just teasing Craig, that's a real bummer what those guys did.
