Well, it has been a very frustrating week, between all the OT at work and goin to see the car on monday things have turned for the worse. The car was suppose to come home on monday so I could start assembly, well I went to pick it up and started to load the parts into the trailer, as I was looking at them, i got more and more disgusted with them, So I started unloading them back into the shop. The owner of the shop asked what was wrong and I showed him, he could not believe his guys would do such shoddy work, needless to say, we sat and talked for a couple hours and things now have to get redone, I am seriously P!$$ED. Screwy thing is that the ppl that did it were suppose to be my friends, ya, go figure, the car went from a 80 thou car to a 5 thou car jsut like like. so as of now it is totally getting redone under their dollar. I feel bad for the owner of the shop as they are really nice and just bought the shop, they have never owned a dbody shop buisness and did not know what to look for, well let me tell you now they sure know what to look for!!!!!!! They even asked me if I wanted to be a partner in the buisness, I said no, but I told them I will help them out some so we will see. Anyways, i had to let you all know about this!!!!

So this is what paint jail is!!!!!! I use to paint all of my own vehicles and this is the first time that I sublet something out to get done, well needless to say I now have a booth to use in the future and I am gonna do things my own way from now on.

SORRY GRAHAM FOR THE DELAY, I REALLY WANTED TO HAVE IT BACK BY NOW AND DONE!!!!!!!!!! SOON IT WILL BE.

kyull67 · 07-23-2010, 12:17 PM

That sucks man, but you've gotta do your own paint after all that work.

hgs_notes · 07-23-2010, 01:27 PM

That sux. What was the major problem with it? I'd like to know what to look for.

VA72C10 · 07-23-2010, 02:16 PM

sorry to hear about that...

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-23-2010, 06:02 PM

Man, I'm real sorry to hear about that. That really sucks. It really sucks they had to "learn" on your big project. Oh well, maybe you can teach them better ways and that won't ever happen again. Good luck on a speedy repaint!

Seam sealer was not even put on at all, and done imprpoerly, the sheen on the firewall was wrong, and a bunch of spots were missed, oh and overspray on the line-w underneath.

Thanks guys.

nuke1 · 08-11-2010, 09:55 AM

Well, another frustrating day!!!!

I went and started assembling the front clip for the car and got it all put together just to realize that they sent me the wrong spindles, they are for a 64-72 chevelle. So I have the correct set on its way right now, but for the most part it is getting there, little by litte, the car still has to go back to the body shop yet to get redone, but I thought I would toss in a pic of it at least.

There were a few more issues but nothing I could not handle, anyways, later everyone.

my67chevytruck · 08-11-2010, 09:58 AM

mcbassin · 08-11-2010, 12:06 PM

hgs_notes · 08-24-2010, 08:42 PM

Lets see it man. How long does it take to paint one of these things anyway. It has been way too long for my patience.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-24-2010, 08:50 PM

Are they done yet?

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-25-2010, 12:21 AM

I wish I could put my 95 crew cab long box ford in this thread and make pictures appear of it as one color.
