The above reminds me of a sad shituation that happened some dozen years ago at a vette shop here in Florida, this chick drives in with a yellow/black chrome shark vert.....nice car, she had bought it from out in California, some internet deal, car was rust free ok, but the front frame was smashed HARD in some wreck, straightened out alright, and had so much extra metal welded on to reinforce torn metal it didn't even look stock, the rear of the frame was fine, and the car drove a bit 'off' to say the least.....but true to form the car LOOKED just fine, nice body/interior/wheels/engine/etc.....we about shit getting it on a lift and seeing that frame, it was FUGLY to say the least....
so upon showing it to her, she went ballistic, and got hold of the Ca. group, they agreed to make it right....pay for a frame swap.....the thing was the shop did not have a pristine frame, just one that had some rot along the diagonal right side, toward the rear, hidden by body,
so the frames could have been sectioned and spliced together making a beautiful frame worthy of the rest of the car, but NO the owner insisted on blasting out the rust, bondo in the rust holes, and paint the frame, so we swapped frames in about a week's work, not all that hard when you have the proper lifts/etc, and nice clear weather to do the RO RO thing with the chassis......the gal never knew the difference......oh well, I thought it kind of sad......would have taken less time to do it right than mess with that bondo crap.....
:suicide:
