A few people have asked about the step/recess/bead in Ned's inner fenders.
We have a Vibro Shear (similar to a Pullmax) which can be used for many different things, depending on the die set. Shrinking, stretching, louvers, shear, beads, channels, recess, edge turning, flanges, etc etc etc... Tim made the dies. Options are endless when it comes to replicating shapes, channels, etc.
The paint and pin striping were done by the previous owner...
What if they could of done what the first shop did for $5k , or slightly more. Look at the fustration that this has caused. Well worth spending a few more bucks and getting quality work done right the first time. What you also have to put into the equation is that Tim has been at this a very long time. Work at one of the best restoration shops in the Pacific NW. What might take someone days to figure out and start tackling the job. He can get done in hours. Experience is a big factor in time savings which cut down the labor costs.
Remember Bob - A.B.C - Always Be Closing... and Telling's not Selling.
The bottom line is that fixing all the crap work has cost me twice as much as it would have been to have a good shop do all the work from the beginning. Alot of labor has gone into just "undoing" stuff.
I made a huge mistake....and its costing me big time. Lesson learned.
Ned I finally got to see the photos. Looking great!
