That shop should be ashamed of themselves. How could they let the car go out the door like that?

You do great work on cars that most people wouldn't even touch. Good job!

Thanks for responding so fast, I appreciate it.

What did that job cost, just curious? You should get the $ the body shop got to hose it up! You make your brothers over @ autopia.org PROUD! Kudos. Ever in the SOUTHEAST part of the US?

Great Job!

That car looks great. One thing you might want to suggest to him though would be to swap the funky antenna, I know I'm probably not the first one to notice that lol..
