nobody wants to deal with somebody thats anal about everything...
like requesting them to use professional painting techniques or asking for an itemized list of materials? Its a car audio shop...
yeah you are asking an awful lot. it would be a great project to learn with. give it a shot.
I don't know i can understand wanting to know where your money is being spent, I mean i don't think he is that for fetched go to any other custom body shop, hot rod shop or the likes and you spend a crap load on something you most likely will get an it itemized bill it is not out of the question. nor is being there at the begining of the process to make sure everything is in order, and so what if he wants to come to the shop and document the progress of his car.
