This week's project
 

this week i had a Chrysler to work on that was repaired(or there version of repaired) by another local shop. these pics show how it looked when it arrived to the shop, note that its the wrong color with no shine and that the body work is absolutely horrible. also note that the door when closed is still sticking out an inch further than the quarter panel because they didn't pull it properly.

after grinding off all there body work i was surprised(not really:biggrin2:) to find they cut a big chunk out and welded it back in but failed to fully weld it solid. after some pulling and adjuting i was ablre to fix most of the fit issues and then welded the 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap shut.

once it was all welded up i proceded to start body work and get it in primer

this morning i prepped it for paint and i painted it this afternoon, its still not perfect but its a heck of alot better than it was. the guy that owns this car learned the hard way about taking the insurance money and blowing it then getting stuck paying out of pocket.

wow......its amazing what some people try to do, AND GET PAID FOR!!! you did good Tim....

Nice crisp sculpture line. Alignment looks good.

Outstanding job, looks great.:beerchug:

What's in the background? Is that a '55' Ford?

Looks great Tim! Ray Charles could have seen that it looked like crap to start with! I wonder how the other shop thought it looked ok ??

close, its a 56 ford

the other shop has a reputation of this kind of work, ive always wondered how they stay in business.
