I just got back from visiting the body shop on my car. They are 4.5 hours into the rear valence and say it's gonna be too much trouble, here's a pic of the car and valence.
http://www.pelicanparts.com/swapmeet_pics/...TML/Page-24.htm They stoped work per my request and are not going to charge me anything, but now I need to find a replacement that in their words is new or close to paint ready, in order to stay in budget. What options do I have if any?? Is their any fiberglass repo's that would work. Is heat gonna be a huge issure with fiberglass? It's a 2.7 six. The exhaust is pretty large diameter wise and just cleared as it is. Ferg (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

What you are not seeing is the amount of bondo it had under that white paint. They were redoing it cause the paint was cracked in two places, and it was part of the stripe removal estimate to repaint the valence as well. Now they are 4.5 hours into it, and it is completely stripped and called to tell me how hosed it was. They are not charging me anything above my original estimate "Yet" but to finish it they say they will have too. It's gonna cost me an extra 300 or so bucks to make this one work again, so I was lookin for cheaper idea's. I love the look of this one, and saw it in bare metal, it's really wavey, with some bad welds. Anyhow, I think I'm just gonna have them do it, cause I want metal, and don't have to many options besides starting over. Thanks Ferg.
