Worst body job ever

FYI, as a professional restorer, I will state a few facts.

Whether its a body/paint guy or a restorer, you lose many hours in doing the job. It's just how it goes. I just finished a 66 charger and have about 500ish hours in the build of the car. I only charged for about 200 hours, at $90/hour. Why? Time =money. For $3800 around here, you don't get much.

My car alone was $7k and it's not perfect. VERY NICE but not perfect. That includes me disassembling/reassembling the entire car, and stripping the engine bay, and welding up holes. I will say that I can even tear up a $20k job. I will find imperfections on any car.

If you wanted what you wanted, you should have had it ALL in writing and discuss it in entirety before you agreed. I give a check list to my paint/body guy every time a car goes to him and he knows how picky I am. We just did a quick spray and body fix on a 68 charger for $3k. Not even a whole job. That included fixing previous bodywork.

Yet to justify this thread at all, please post pics. Then all who care to comment shall let their opinions be known.

Had I been consuming a beverage while reading this, my laptop would probably be a doorstop now. [Vader voice]Most impressive.[/Vader voice]
 
Well, I suppose we could explore the underlying socio-economic implications of this thread as juxtaposed to Freud's theory of self with regard to Ego, but then we'd be opening up a whole other can o' worms...............I'd rather talk about gears, cams, and what-not...........
