Woo hoo! I finally got my '79 B back from the body shop on Friday and boy is it nice to be able to drive it again!! I'm attaching Woodstock's "formal sitting" pic, which means it was taken some place other than the driveway.
The body shop had it for six and a half weeks but did a great job on the body work and paint. The only glitch in the whole deal was that the trunk lid I ordered (after the tire place broke the original) had a dent in it. Can you believe it?? The guy at the shop said the painter saw the dent and they had to work on it quite some time to get that fixed. It would've been nice had they called me about all of that first but they didn't. They asked me to pay $150 out of the $350 it took to repair and I paid it. I figured that if I went through the hassle and expense of shipping, reordering, trying to settle with the carrier or vendor and determining who was at fault, I'd be out more time and still some more money, no matter how I did things. Anyway, they did other work and didn't charge me, such as undercoating. installing my new gas lifts for the hood and TRUNK(!), repairing a broken hose that I guess is the gas overflow(?), just to mention a few. I figured I still did well in spite of the trunk lid issue.
Here's a link to some photos so you can see the progress Woodstock has made. And no more stripe...yay!!!!
Woodstock's restoration
Oh, and please take notice of those "new" rostyles I redid. There's a reason the word "pain" is in the word "paint"!
