my car has just been one rip of to the next. and it's still not painted. i think this is the thrid time i've been ripped off on trying to get it painted. the latest one the guy closed down cause he sold his shop. he says he'll paint it but shows no signs of getting a new place or even stopping by to visit and help me out on the car+he only lives 5 minutes away.
the second time i got screwed on the paint it was the old good buddy friend of a mother-in-law that painted cars, after i gave them half down for materials all work stopped.
im still trying to get my front clip back from the guy up here in smithville, he sandblasted the body and front clip but never epoxyed the front clip just a thin coat on the shell, which i gave him 2 gallons of epoxy. the 2 gallons of epoxy wasnt even part of the deal but that i provided to help him out, in september he's had my front clip 1 year.
all i can say is nice guys always finish last.
my favorite part is always the offer to by my car after they try and sit on it or destroy it. all i can figure is that it is the powerwindows and a/c that must drive em nuts? i mean it's not even a 400 car. seems like most of the cars around here in kc are not numbers matching so maybe thats it?
even when i had my motor rebuilt that was a disaster. it told them 30 over no more...cause it was the original motor..so they whack it out 60 over first shot.
thank god i got the car cheap from my mom cause so far i have 18-20k in it and it's a bucket.
Hey John,, I myself know exactly what your talking about,, been there done that,, I have finally found a real good body man and he's honest,, the bad part is he's about ready to retire,,figures,, after all these years searching,, He's not cheap, but for a good one, I don't expect him to be,,, You know the old saying,, you pay for what you get..but when it comes to this car hobby, I don't believe thats always the case...
