No way I would do that either, maybe put on the list, then a month out give ‘some’ money up front. Another thing, take ALL the parts off yourself that’s not needed for job. A buddy left the whole car after 3 years car was painted and none of the original bolts-screws where left, other parts missing too. They left trunk and under hood unpainted, he complained and they said it gets trunk splatter and painted black underhood! Needless to say use someone who knows Mopar.
