We are talking softball size holes. they were in the process of painting one of them with your run of the mill $150 a gallon clear coat. And the shop owner was quick to gloat on how he was getting over $150K each for the resto's. I see more and more of this every day. Where guys pay way to much without knowing what they are getting into. But then you have shops like me, who I think do very well respected work that sit on our hands most of the time cause guys want turn loose of the money cause I don't have a name attached to me. Then you see cars on ebay with high end parts on it that bring twice the amount of the of a better quality car but it just doesn't have the name attached to it also.
