Re: Price of a paint job nowadays?

Ahh yes, the wormholes, I can remeber dad drilling holes and using a slidehammer with a screw in the end, to pull dents 20-25 years ago, your supposed to go back and weld them up afterwards but I bet lots of guys just slathered the mud on and didnt bother welding them up. Thank goodness for the stud gun...
Vintage...I agree
Body work/painting is a tough way to earn a living, you gotta be good and you gotta be fast and everyhting you do is a rolling billboard for your ability, if you "doghouse" one you'll get labled a hack or a scabby craftsman...
but If you cant turn them out fast enough you'll starve, there is a reason I joined the Airforce, and didnt take on the family business....
