Is this body shop trying to screw me?

So my Celica is sitting at this body shop right now, It's been there for 5 weeks now and they haven't touched it. They called me a few days after I dropped it off, saying it needed a new core support and that I would have to get it, since they couldn't find one. I brought them what I thought was a core support, the bar that runs across the front of the car, right in front of the top of the radiator. They then told me that that wasn't what they needed, that they needed the entire piece of metal that surrounds the radiator. So I had to shell out $275 for a new one. Okay, no big deal. This was 4 weeks ago. I called them, 2 weeks ago, on Friday. I was told that they just got the core support in the day before, and that they would start work ASAP and it would be done within a couple of weeks. Called them back today, and they said it would be a couple more weeks, since they needed to put another car on the frame rack and take care of it before they did my car. What the hell? My car's been there for over a month, and they're doing other people's cars instead of mine? Why? They can't be that slow, last time I was there there were only 2 other cars parked there, neither of which appeared to need frame straightening. Is there something I'm missing?
