I didn't even take pictures of their work. I brought the car home and tore right into it. I'm not one to sit around and pout so I just said, "The hell with this, I'm doing it." I didn't have to pay anything, and I was fully capable of fixing it myself so to avoid drama I just took the car and did my thing. It honestly took me about 15 minutes to fix the trunk, minus the time for the bondo to dry/harden. I sanded it down, applied my own batch of mud, sanded it down smooth, primered it, and wet sanded the primer. I sanded the hell out of the fenders to remove the bulges, then re-primered them. I'll get pics of my work soon. It's supposed to rain the next few days so we'll see what's up when I get the car fully finished. I still have to buff it. They were going to charge me $2,500 for the finished product, but I went through our shop and got a discount on the paint, reducer, etc. Martin Senour/TecBase paint. Really good stuff. I was going to go with Dupont but they couldn't have it mixed in time and it was a bit more expensive. So for around $300 I got everything I needed, plus whatever it costs me for the pins I ordered, and I did it all myself so I saved labor costs. I'm looking at $500-ish compared to $2,500.

LMAO, when I was in the Air Force, my first base was in the Phillippines. I was 19 and went to the doc because I thought I had caught some strange disease. He started cracking up laughing and told me my skin was peeling because I was sunburned. Who knew!

BTW, i saw your boy's post on FB about Ruby Tuesday's in GB. I went to that Friday's down the street a few years back and noticed some armed dude in what appeared to be SWAT type gear just chilling out by the bathrooms. I looked around and sure enough there were armed off-duty cops at all entrances/exits. GB is not the place for fine dining in PGC...

Just found out yesterday Lingenfelter discontinued mass production of the stage 1 and 2 CNC ported L92/LS7 heads I wanted and now only sell the stage 3 for like 1500-2500 more! I'm so pissed I could **** kittens!
Now I may have to settle for the SPL head.
Sorry just wanted to vent.
