James:

Sorry for the hassle and yeah, it must be frustrating.

Sell the car and move on, life is too short to be so bummed out and there are plenty of other straight, undamaged Mustangs around that will make you happy.

A lot of folks could have told you that the body shop just wants the business and will promise you anything because making your wrecked 'Stang 'just like new' is almost totally subjective and they can claim that it is...to them...and you're just being anal about it.

You were 'screwed over' but all you can do is unload the car and learn a good lessson about trying to repair badly damaged cars...they really aren't the same afterwards, no matter what the body shop promises. You'll always have little leaks and cracks and a variety of things that make the car a POS. This is why we have - and use - CARFAX. No one wants a wrecked and repaired vehicle...why would you?

Now you know.
