Sounds good Dennis! I think guys who kind of do this stuff in their own shop seem to appreciate not being hurried and do a better job as a result--
The guy who did my qtr panel took a few weeks longer than expected but that was fine by me. I have asked him to consider getting the rest of the car ready for paint. At first, he seemed doubtful but a few weeks later he asked me to call him in February... so maybe. He's very meticulous and does nice work at a reasonable price.
That Chevy II sounds nice. My first car was a 64 2 dr sdn with 194 and 3 on the tree... I did all the body work and got it ready for paint...It was a pretty good job for a 17 year old kid. I bought a gallon of a new 71 Corvette color "Brands Hatch Green" acrylic enamel for $10 and a body shop guy sprayed it for me for $10!! Hard to imagine that today!!
Too bad I wrecked the car (went through the windshield) a couple years later.
