Sad thing is they were perfect when I dropped them off..
Ding, Ding, Ding! That's where I was heading. You need to be concerned with what is being used & it would be a good idea to get references from people that are "like-minded" with similar projects (hobby vehicle restoration) NOT a farmer with old tractor wheels that got blasted there. The wrong guy with the wrong (very powerful) equipment &/or products (too rough/sharp) of grit can ruin your entire vehicle...& charge you for having them do it!

No Way I would let them start with the shell, Hood, ect. Take them the rad support & inner fenders...get them back & in epoxy. Then the fenders & maybe the rear doors/gate...get them in epoxy & whatever product you are going to use for blocking. Work them out some, by then you will know if they are the right person for the Hood, Doors & Roof. My Two Cents, Lorne
