i would totally paint the car because i think black would look better. am i jerk? am i breaking the rules??? obviously people paint cars all the time on this site....i'm just trying to figure out where he's coming from.
If ya gotta lie to get the car and promise him a beyond amazing resto job, then promise him everything. Then do what ya want with it.
Resto guys cringe at the slightest waver. So F$%^* them!
If a resto guys whines and complains, tell'em he should have purchased it and you'll sell him the car for correction for 50,000 as a down payment. Kick his *** while your at it.
