Re: 1971 Mustang Mach 1
UPDATE 10/28/09: I got scammed out of some money, but it's my fault and this is what happens when you cut corners to try and save a few $$$. I was referred by a friend to an autobody person, who no longer has a shop, but works out of his garage. I asked a person at a paint shop if he ever heard of this so called autobody man and he said yes and that he does good work. With that, I was sold! He said no reciepts will be exchanged however, he will warranty the job, so an informal contract was made and with the agreement for the car to be completed in a months time and after over a month, a spoiler, both fender extension pieces and both valances were very poorly done. So bad that you can actually see shades of the primer and on other pieces, no bodywork done, but just painted over the dings and crap. After not hearing from the painter for two weeks, I decided to drop in and see the progress, well, more excuses and still nothing done. More money was given for "materials" but then the materials were used for other projects, cause nothing was done to mine but the materials keeps dissapearing. Well, I got fed up and managed to get back what I could and just take my losses. It's a hard and expensive lesson learned and not one that anyone should go through, but such is life and we move on. I'll be in therapy for the next 3wks so forgive me if I don't post any progress to this ongoing money pit. When I do return, my mind will be cleared and the Mustang project will go on! Take care and God bless!
