My 'baby' going to the body shop
Don (body shop man) seems to be very picky in the way he does the work. As I've said, I've watched him during this process and glad that I waited to get him to do the work. He has told me that he likes doing insurance jobs because of the money but hates the way they (insurance companies) tell him what he can use and not use in fixing up the wrecked vehicle. He said that it makes him look bad and that is what 'sucks' about doing insurance jobs. He told me the other day that his next restoration is going to be a Camaro. I asked him if he was going to miss me coming over everyday to check on my baby (Duster).........he said yes.....because I cared about what went on with the restoration. Not one of those that just dropped off the car and said 'here it is......let me know when it done' and never show up to see how the progress is going. He said that with my visits, it helped keep the restoration enthusiam going to see the end product........I have to agree.
I think my next project (since this one will be finished soon) will be another Duster. The next one to be redone to sell......but the next project won't begin till sometime next year (got to have some of that 'green stuff'....$$$$) to fund it.
I've really enjoyed watching the progress and learned a lot of what to look for (just enough to get me in trouble)......LOL.
