(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I loaned the Red Car to sww914 while he's waiting for parts for his boat, and he & and older "gentleman" tried to mate fenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
Steve is taking care of everything, but he's having a hard time finding an early chrome bumper (the one on the car is one of the ones done by bdstone not too long ago), so if anyone has one, please let me know. Otherwise we'll send mine out to be straightened & re-chromed. I'm doing my best not to get upset over it, accidents happen, and there's not too much we can do about them. The up-side, is that some of the rust is going to be dealt with (Steve is going above & beyond on that, which is most appreciated), and since they're going to have to do some painting anyway, if I can afford it, I'll get the other rust bubbles dealt with at the same time. Steve said he's going to take some pics, so maybe he'll post them here. |

Update:
The body & paint came out very nice. Unfortunately, they burned up the Pertronix when they were trying to get the turn signals wired up again. Since they are body guys, and not mechanics, and since the $$ was coming out of their own pocket, it took awhile before they got on it. They had a mech friend look at it last week, and his verdict was they burned up the dizzy. I think he meant they fried the Pertronix again. The body shop owner was going to double-check on that & get back to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) On the bad side, Steve (sww914) has disappeared. Won't return phone messages, nor emails for the last couple of weeks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It looks like I'm going to be stuck with the remainder of the bill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Very unfortunately, this really bothers me. My faith in my fellow man has taken a serious downturn. I'm hoping the body shop will let me make payments, so I can get the car back & put it back up for sale. The saga continues...... |
