    Who is supposed to FINALLY get his Mav back from the body shop? This guy :dance:

    Its been in there for ....wait for it....3yrs!!! I was supposed to get it last fall, but the snow started early and has not let up here. IF it the weather clears up and we have some dry roads, i will go get it next week.

    Welcome to the three year paint jail club! It took me 3 years to get mine back.

    My buddy's Maverick was in the body shop for 2 years & 5 months, so I've seen that before.

    If anyone in NE Ohio is looking for an excellent body shop, I recommend Eddie's in Norton. He did outstanding work on my 28' Nordic Heat boat
    and will also be painting my Maverick. He delivered on time and on budget.

    Great looking paint job. I am sorry, I can't let my car stay immobile that long - I like rolling to much. Is that a factory color? Also, the tail panel is a semi-gloss black?

    Yes the panel is a simi gloss...

    The color is kinda factory. It is vermilion red, but from a 2011 F150.
