Ahh.. and that would be the reason I don't like body shops...

Looking great!

The body shop I use only has two guys, both the owners do ALL the work and we're talking repairs to full resto's.

John, I'm getting to hate em! When I first looked around one of the so called high end resto shops looked like a sweat shop of illegals slinging bondo! Shops around here are dropping like flys and guys are jumping around.I can do anything but body and paint so here I are

 

[Big John]

I've done just enough body and paint work to tell you the I hate doing it.

Good bodymen/painters are getting harder to find and when you do, they are busy with other stuff. Same with resto shops... some are good, but some are just places to spend money and get garbage.

I had talked to a local painter about my car and everything sounded good until I saw an example of his work. It was a metallic blue Chevelle. Decent body work (at least on the surface) but the paint was terrible... yet some of the locals recommend him highly!

I can see mine being yellow for a long time...........

maybe you could hire the bodyman yourself?

That's enough to cause someone to go Postal!

Went to the body shop this morning and they were preping the bottom of the hood, trunk lid and all the small parts for paint today. And the car is ready also

Now THAT'S good news...!!!

I had the guys that did my Chevelle come over on Saturday to take a look at my buddy's AAR...the quoted him a decent price...but it seemed like a higher price for potentially less work than was required on the 'bu... Must just be a "Cuda Thing" or an "E Body Thing"... These guys watch B-J too...and just want their piece of the pie I guess... :crazy:

Sounds like they have an "E-Body tax" now. I'm not suprised.

Guys with Corvettes are used to the "Corvette tax" that everybody charges. For example, the same hotel gets an extra $10 for a room for Corvettes at Carlisle over the Mopars at Carlisle.

Well, we may not get the snow but it will be in the upper 20's tomorrow night so pack a jacket! I'm going out to do some survey work Thursday morning and wouldn't you know - its supposed to be the coldest night/morning so far this year. Oh well, next week will be better.
