Just wanted to vent a bit.
I sent the Whitephrog back to the paint and body shop a few weeks ago to correct some less than satisfactory work they had previously done for me. Shop is owned by a very long time good friend. I had him come out to look at the car before I sent it back. He agree that the corrections needed to be made.
First issue: Car sit outdoors but under cover for a week at his shop.
Second issue: Corrections were made satisfactorily but I now have over spray on all my front suspension and steering components. Those had all been restored in pristine condition before going back to the shop.
Third issue: I now have light surface rust on several "natural" surfaces.
I've spent they past few days disassembling and prepping. Hope to get everything repainted tomorrow. I'm claer coating everything that stays "natural".
My goal was to have the car ready for the Townsend show on May 9 but that's not going to happen now.
My paint and body guy is still my friend but I've learned a lesson about folks who do mostly insurance work vs a restoration shop.
