It's finally back home. Only cost me part of a weekend, $450 for 63 gallons of gas, lodging and meals. It's worse than when I gave it to him 3.5 years ago. Oh sure, it was stripped, primed and the rear quarters and doors were worked over, but that's it....and so long ago that anyone that picks up where left off may insist on re-stripping it to see what kind of crap is under the primer. So sad. I have to clean and/or refinish the drivetrain, frame and steering parts. Flash rust, dirt, overspray...A lot of money for nothing, lost time, trashed things that were already done and nice. I'm beside myself...this happens way to often to many people wanting a car painted. Save your cash and have a long standing shop that's within an hour's drive. I tried to save a few bucks and I got f***ed...hard.
