What to do if I gave my classic car to a guy to paint and he took the car car apart but never finished the job?

I lent him money over a 3 year period to help him get along so he would paint the car. He also kept telling me he was getting an insurance settlement and would pay me back. Turns out he was lying about he settlement and was not ever going to receive one. He also never finished my car. What can he be charged with?
