Thats the problem with some of these body shops.. Seems like they put the old cars on the "back burner" while other quick, fast money, jobs come through the door.. You have to stay on top of these guys, call and stop by often. Seems like you are being a pest but this is the only way this stuff gets done sometimes, unfortunately..

Good luck with your project..

last pic....do you guys think I should keep the car totally original?? The car now has a cowl hood, although it did not come with one...and I was originally thinking of adding the RS option...?? Now thinking otherwise...???

I would get it out of there and find someone interested in actually working on it.
Does this car have any documentation? Any pics of the rear axle code and engine stamp?

I'd pull it out of there asap. I don't care if this is the best body shop in the history of body shops, thats horrible business practice. You're not waiting for a life saving transplant here, move on, get your Camaro back.
