^ He is a loser, but he's starting to see the big picture and FINALLY saying he wants to put in some more time on the car.. Even though I'm still doing most of the work.. I can give him small things to do that will take him all day. "Check the fuel lines out back... Yeah yeah.. Just....... make sure they're still there....." That'll take him all day.

Yep... (update)
He pissed me off.. I told him I'm done with it.. I was out in NY for a week doing snow removal, came back and he says he's got this guy that does shaved engine bays (Chevelle resto) and he says he's gonna have him do it. ............ ok... Well then you owe me money (Got the money out of him for what I did.) And what I don't get is "Shaved bay" is a European car scene thing.. How would some middle-aged domestic car guy know about this??? This isn't a common thing.. But anyway.. He pissed me the fuk offf and I told him he burned me.. "But don't take it personally.. This guy said he needs work." YEAH!! I DO TOO!!! I have SEASONAL work right now! Just because I was gone for a week, doesn't mean I'm going to be busy from now on. You know what? I'm done helping you on this.. You can have your new boy finish it for ya." Then he tells me his clutch cable was "cut" on his other mustang (Has three and now NONE OF THEM are driveable)............ It broke at the quadrant.. I can already tell and it's a common place.. I have shown and told him EVERY reason for it to break and he STILL thinks someone got underneath his dash and CUT it with a hacksaw..  OMFG dude.. You are fukin paranoid and there is no way someone can "cut" a braided/wound cable with a hacksaw, let ALONE get in there with one. He wants me to help him with THAT now.. You don't deserve to be around tools. WTF dude.. seriously.. You can't even fix your own clutch cable.... have fun with the swap now.. oh yeah... and he STILL hasn't sent the $75 remaining shipping cost check out for the remaining CRITICAL engine components such as the turbo, header, harness and ECU.... It's been a MONTH.... He can fuk this up.. I've got a lead for a solid full time job soon, so I'll be moving away from this town and hopefully he won't call to ask for my help anymore. I need NORMAL friends and I need to gtf away from here. (Brist-HOLE CT) .. Starting to think about condos. I NEED a garage.

So he was paying you and you were bitching he wasn't working on it? When money is involved friend or not it's a different situation not just a "favor" seems like best thing is keep the friendship and make sure buisness and friendship stay seperate.

no no no... if your being paid by a friend to help you with a job, then helping means all hands on deck.
some people help by simply adding there knowledge to the garage.

But since he's got his new "boy" doing it, I hope it never gets done. One procrastinator helping another now.

i dunno if i were to receive money for doing something on a friends car. A: he cant do the job himself. and B: he would just get in the way. SO i do the job start to finish MYSELF! im not a very good teacher. ignorance pisses me of and ill just kick you out anyway. situation like yours i NEVER would have gotten into in the first place. But if i was in it. i wouldnt have wanted him NEAR the car while i was working other then "hey man you hungry, want a drink?" and THATS IT! So in the end Dont get in that sit. again!!!!! Sucks it has to end that way But i honestly blame you both.
