Demon at the bodyshop

LJS30,

I replaced the lower area at the rear of both quarters. I also got 2 rust free fenders from Ca. (thanks snowymountainman). Other than that I filled in the marker lights with new metal and rebuilt the ends of the front valance. It did require a few floor patches and spare tire well that I made myself.
When it went to the bodyshop it was a full metal car that had a few small dents and dings from over the years. The bodyshop sanded the car down, pulled and filled the dings then sprayed 2 coats of primer, 1 coat of sealer, 4 coats of base and 3 coats of clear. They also applied the stripe package and painted the center of the hood and scoop black. I had the windshield installed while it was there in case they scratched the paint. Total cost for this was $3650 Can.
I am going to wet sand and buff the car in a few weeks. Part of the paint deal was that he come to my house and show me exactly how to do it properly. This guy is very proud of his work and has won many awards for his paint. He is also an avid car collector with 10 cars of his own, mostly bowties and blue ovals but I didn't hold that against him. LOL
