But, that's a great price and the guy came to you? Was that like 20 bucks and hour?
It was more like $17 per hour - it took him about 12 hours. However, I also fed him BBQ pork. It was a deal, especially him coming to my place. One of the All Crane guys that salvaged my lift disaster told me about him. Turns out he only lives 5 minutes away. I've got him coming back to re-install some button caps on the Yellow Car's seats.

BTW you can see where I used the propane torch to clear out all the brazing from the valance to lower quarter seam. The original installer of those NOS quarters thought the gap was not supposed to be there, and filled it full of brass after installing the quarters. One side was mostly body filler but the other was a brazed up solid. I gently heated the area with a propane torch and used a wire handbrush to brush it out. It made me real nervous when I originally saw it as I thought they used steel wire to fill it and that would have taken serious grinding to get it out.
....non-hardening enamel ...Hmm....I'm doing a baked on finish. It's sitting in the sun by the smoker. Smoking a lamb roast for Easter dinner. Hopefully it will harden up enough by the time I chase my family off this evening to take a whack at wet sanding. It really looks good though. There's just a few dust nibs...

Now that you mentioned the brazed area, I can see where you cleaned it up. Looks good.
