Re: Body shop talk

Sadly, insurance companies govern collision bodyshops, and insurance is a profit based business(not quality based). I'm a 22yr collision based tech now restoring cars/trucks as a proprietor of my own shop. I'm a one man show as it's nearly impossible to find another like-minded bodyman; I spent 2yrs trying and pretty much gave up nearing financial ruin paying for work I couldn't charge for, then re-doing it after hours! Body work and mechanical are different animals; a car don't run too well with a butchered tune-up.....
