In mid-September, my dad put his El Camino in the shop for serious paint job that was supposed to take 4 to 6 weeks. 14 weeks later, leading up to this past week, dad finally got his ride back. The body shop has to give preference to insurance claim work, and we had some snow awhile back and claims went up, thus part of the delay.
I must say, while I'm not too big of an El Camino fan myself (this is like the third or fourth one my dad has owned in his lifetime, so he's obviously a big fan), dad's car is now looking quite sweet in comparison to how it looked back in September. Dad is SO giddy about it, too. It's hard not to notice how very proud he is of his born-again little baby. He still has a lot of internal restoration work to do, but his project car is nearly complete.
