Hard to comprehend how some people can get a result like that and think its going to be okay.
Maybe if it were a weekend circle track race car.
All I can do now is just shake my head. It would be funny if it wasn't for the wasted years and cash.

Hell I've had race cars and mud trucks that never had gaps like that. lol

I will pop down to Hot Rod city next week and see it again. Glad it's finally there and getting attention. Love the " clipboard" program he uses too.

It's definitely a great system they have. I get a copy of the clipboard via email every two weeks breaking down what they've been doing. It's awesome

Making headway! Having to undo all the hack job work the previous guy did sucks, but some quality work is being done now!

Which body shop is that? Can always use a good reference for a shop, I still have one more car to get done. And maybe some repair on a recent one too.
