I'm surpised you arent stripping it down more....

When I went to pick up my car (yes Chris ****ed up my car too....but not as bad...mines still in metal thank god), he mentioned something about rust bubbles on the deck lid. If theres rust bubbles on the deck lid, I'd be worried that theres hidden rust waiting to bubble somewhere else..... I'm sure Pete is looking for stuff like that but..... Chris told me he fixed it, but you know how the other "fixes" worked....

Tony....call me.... I know we played phone tag for a while and I keep meaning to call you but can never find the right time....

Then we can meet up at SEMA and have a few beers.....

Ned, I'm sure you're not trying to cause trouble.

Tonys car was sent here to be repaired. As of right now all we got to really get into was taking it apart and looking over what was done.
As I mentioned, next week we'll be documenting the repairs with Chuck Vranas for Camaro Performer.
We are known for our paint work and as we are repairing Tonys car, at any time I feel that a panel or a spot should be stripped there will be no short cuts and it will be stripped. There are some repairs that need to be taken care of that might require some of it to be stripped but, I won't know until I get into the repairs.
This is one of the reasons there are not many pictures up right now because, I don't want everybody to think that this is getting a "scuff and shoot". The people that checked out Tonys car know there is a little bit more to making his car right than a "scuff and shoot".
So follow along and watch the progress and then make your "judgement" on the outcome of the project. I know there's a lot of eyes on this car and a lot of people saying I would do this and he should do that but, the end result will speak for itself.

I would have paid to take it down to bare metal. I realize you are fixing the car on your dollar and that shouldn't be expected.

I think a 'media blackout rule' is a very effective and necessary tool sometimes.

To quote Herb Tarlek, General Sales Manager of WKRP; "Hey, if they don't know you they can't hate you!"

FIXING ON MY DOLLOR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STRIPPING THE CAR

I am not going to challenge you on stripping the car. That is between you and Tony.
