Re: Attempting my first build 72 K5

Sorry to see you were the victim of a POS body shop. It's hard to find a reputable body shop who will do the work correctly. The worse part is, if you don't keep track of what they're doing, you may never know. Body men are paid to make dents disappear and unfortunately, some body men despite having a good rep can do shady work and are VERY good at making things "look" great. I found bondo work on my Blazer that was laser straight, not cracked and looked like the sheet metal was never damaged, but ended up having 3/4" to 1" of putty. The funny thing is, me as an amateur was able to straighten the metal with basic body work tools and used less than 1/16" of bondo in less than two hours. Go figure.......
