I know Mike, the older I get the faster the years fly by. You are right about using outside people, they all promise the moon and stars to get you in the door, and then everything comes to a screeching halt. I worked at the body shop with Brent, my friend, then he opened his own shop. He was the go-to guy when we worked together, and all the other bodymen came to him for the tough ones, and the owner gave him the Vipers, Mercedes, etc. because he was the best bodyman there. I know he will do a good job, and I believe he will stick to the schedule pretty well.

Don and I needed this window anyway to get our frames all done so we can just plop the painted bodies back on when they come back. Don's is going right to the upholstery shop first, but I am going to have to skip that step for a little while until I can afford it. The $ 1500- $ 2000 I have to pay for the paint job is going to strain me for a while. However, I am not opposed to sitting on a boat cushion as long as the car runs. Upholstery can come later on.
