My 69 Camaro needs your honest opinions

[ironworks]

Oh it is real, I have been dealing with this drama for 6 months. There is no way for either of us to prove our case one way or the other in this forum. I felt it was best to step in and stand up for where I knew this thread was going. Tyson tried this on Friday in the Paint and body section and got himself banned on another screen name. Look for yourself. I hope the reputation that my many other customers give me speaks volumes of the work we do. And once in a while as any person in business will tell you, we all have customers that turn into bad apples. Well let me introduce you to one of mine. I hope my integrity has shown through and that my reputation on our many many other satisfied customers shine through beyond what some guy who now wants me to now call him, after I did 6 months ago and offered to work with him on a project we never completed. Is this the way to go about things if you want to work with some one or is this the way a bad apple goes about it.

Let the pissing contest begin

To be fair to Tyson it looks like that was a buddy of his trying to "stir the pot".. Tyson asked him to stop.

I've never seen the car so I'm not going to pick any sides here.

I will say though that I take pictures for a living and they only tell a part of any story since they give no context. In other words they capture a specific moment in time.

I guess what I'm trying to tell everyone is to resist the urge to "bandwagon" against either side.

Rodger You need to think what you post if you want to retain your intergrity.

I mean no disrespect

That looks like utter SH*T!! The body shop I work at would have done twice as good and painted the car for $2500 tops.. We are doing a 71 chevelle right now, replacing one quarter, grinding the WHOLE car down to bare metal, priming, various other rust repair, and painting the car.. I think the total came out to be $2500 to $3000..

Sucks you got ripped off .. I was going to get my quarters done for $400 for BOTH sides but I don't feel like waiting..


EDIT: Just read ironworks report, and now I can sorta understand where the money came from..
I am not sure if you bought a roller camaro, or a rolled over camaro.. Probably should have looked it over a little better before you bought it.. For $26,000, you could have gotten a car already finished,

in fairness to ironworks that rear end looks to be fabbed up correctly.The pinion on a 9 inch is offset and one would be wrong to measure from the pinion not the housing.other than that the work looks totally substandard.Im surprised this threads still up, i guess the mods havnt recieved free parts from ironworks so they are not sure what to do.Im sure this post of mine will be deleted.But its the sad truth about this site.Its time for the honest enthusiasts and shops to stand up to these crooks who are turning our buisness/hobby into a joke.

What happened to the post I was going to comment on? It was only there for like 5 seconds.

how do you stay in buisness total paint for what!!!!! the paint and materials I use on my cars cost more that your whole job? Your not going to be in buisness very long if your charging that much!!!!! were do you buy your paint at the hardware store?

Trey...... maaco doesn't count bro i painted my spoiler by myself the other day and bought cheap paint and it was $200 alone for cheap a paint. I am not a professional or anything but if the job you are doing is for only $2500-2800 It cannot be professional. It is either extremely amateur at its best or somebody is very stupid.It would cost you just about that in materials....But if you can prove me wrong let me know where your shop is because your gonna earn some business real quick
