Re: My cars at paint!
I had two of those "Surprises". First one tripled in from the estimate. Second one almost quadrupled from the estimate.

Hey atleast the second one is paying dividends. We took first place in a local show and won $200.00. Woohoo!!

Yea, each piece of tape is identifying a problem. Almost all (old) Corvettes have cracked glass, but the rust underneath was quite a costly surprise.

Corvettes crack, I have done a few and it's easy to blame the previous guy, but they all crack here and there eventually.

Re: My cars at paint!
I am going to be painting my car the same color - Satin Black. Should look nice with new chrome and the already black wheels. Going to tint the windows as well?

Grrrrrrrr, Body shop was dead when we dropped the car off. Now they dont know when it is going to be done. Should have painted it myself.

Re: My cars at paint!
Maybe it's a cookie issue? I've never had probs with photobucket uploading so not sure what the prob could be.
