I figured since this isn't a major project for them, that they could have kept their estimated date for completion. Guess I was wrong. If they don't have it done by Wednesday, I'm not paying full price.

What time tonight? Like before 4:30? I'm heading out of town tonight and I'd love to see if before I left.

I should be in the right state of mind, besides being pissed about losing all of my money.

PICS!

The body shop did a great job on all three pieces. They said it took quite a bit of work to get it ready for paint, but they stuck to their original estimate of $150. That was a helluva bargain.





















I want to thank all of you for your support and input throughout this whole project. It wasn't a cheap or easy project, but I got it done thanks to all of you.

Quote the BAHA men " HOOP THERE IT IS" absolutely awesome Hartman. So that makes you what now,1 of 4 in the Universe with a pan on the X. Excellent bragging rights there. Bring out the mops cause the drooling has begun.
Nice Job,
Jeff

Oh yea I forgot to note. It's about time there was a little commitment on this roll pan issue. I have read lots of talk, but no walk. You really came through here. Give yourself a pat on the back.
