Some folks have no buisiness doing what they do.

no i was to pissed off about the whole situation, I don't know what they're going to do, but they better get my **** fixed right, I have no clue if buffer burns can be removed or not, as I'm not a paint expert. The seem to think some 2000 grit sanding will get them out, but who knows. I may go check today just to see if they are starting back to work on it and snap some pics if it's still all the same, or worse

PM BadCompany VP WS6 and ask him.

I don't think it can but he would know more. And good luck with getting all the paint to match up.

What shop is this in Lindale?

Damn, did you know about all the previous body work before hand? Car is gonna look great though!

And no, buffer burns can't be removed because that's when it burns all the way through the clear and into the paint. Raise hell and they should fix your car for you.

I knew the car had a lot of damage when I got the car.. I was at the auction when my buddy bought it lol.

But I thought the car was repaired right nothing like this **** that I have seen. I'm pretty sure he thought it was repaired right also.

If I would have known all the damage that was under the paint ..I wouldn't have traded for it.

I know thats the only thing that makes this all worth it. I can say this car was taken all the way down to nothing and brought back up to what it looks like now... When I'm done.

I'm thinking about filling in the Pontiac on the rear bumper. lol

I might send some pics to Joel to post up as I'm getting parts done lol

ChrismikeB said he would come by and help.

I think I spent most of my time yesterday on the rear bumper alone lol making sure everything was perfect.

Skeeter99 was giving me a hard time because all the time I spent on the rear bumper. lol

Hmmmm may have to consider, really appreciate the offer btw. If I get my alignment done by then, I will be doing it by hand until I get a new spindle, my LF is bent and the toe is off pretty far, so if im not too lazy to get out in the garage and do it I may take you up on that.
