I'm past the point of no return now.. I took the guy's car apart. I'm kinda obligated to helping put it back together now. If I just dropped it now and left him with the engine to do himself and put his car back together, then he would almost become a mortal enemy. Yes, I did this to myself now.. But I have an option: Get it running quick and easy or do some custom work that I've been wanting to try out on something anyway. I'm prolly just gonna get it running and be done with it because when the snow flies I have to work and won't have time to dick around with the car and the guy who doesn't seem to MAKE time to let me go over there to help finish a damn swap for him. We didn't get shit done today because he decided to take a nap from 2-6 and then he has his pool games at 7 on Tuesdays.. I guess drinking is more important. (No I don't drink anymore)
It's like if Don started on a motor swap and they guy didn't pay, or only paid half.. Who's responsibility is to to put the car back together now, running or not?? (That would almost be a serious question.)

You ask for advice but still go the direction you were going in in the first place.I help my freinds and they help me, but never to the extent your doing with the lazy nerd guy that plays warcraft all day and night. its eviident he dont give a shit about the car or your time and effort you put into it !!!!

if he's more interested in playing games he's not interested in driving his car... all the effort will be a waste.

Well, the engine is on it's way, I got a LOT done on the engine compartment today and he can't and won't do it on his own. He'll learn through this. SOMETHING at least. I gotta finish it.. I tore his car apart, I'm responsible now. My point of no return was when I took his front end apart to tuck the wires. He'll give me full access to the car when we're done. He was letting me drive the 5.0 when I wanted to, I just thought it was uncomfortable.
This is what I got done today. Gonna fill in screw holes tomorrow, sand, filler, block and prime again. Looks like swiss cheese now.

^ I'm gonna start asking him for some money.. He gave me a couple bucks today, but he said that was for gas. (we didn't go far).. Went to the recycle center to get rid of about 400lbs of scrap steel and aluminum. He got $53 out of it and went right to the packi to get beer (He did.. I don't drink any more).. All I was thinking about was "that should be MY money." But he gave me $20 out of it.
Another thing is, this is all trial for me.. I don't know if I'm good enough to be able to CHARGE someone for this stuff (as far as body work)............yet..... I wouldn't mind doing it as a side job once I get good, but I'll let you guys be the judge of my work when I'm done with it... So I'm almost using him as the stone to sharpen my teeth on. I've never really done any body work like this before. So the hiding of the holes is uncharted territory for me. And I can't find much part time work that will let me NOT come in when it snows (with little notice.) I work for a large construction company doing snow removal, but it's not snowing yet.. Pathetic CT winters..

I think the best bet is to more or less give the guy an ultimatum, pay you what you deserve or you walk. And honestly this guy sounds like a douche if you ask me and he doesn't even deserve your assistance. Thats just me tho
