Hello All;
One thing that I should have mentioned
before, although other people have, is that you don't always get what you pay
for with the so-called professionals. I remember that there was a car for sale
up in Cumberland, a nearby town, that was parked on one of the side streets. The
car was a 1966 Pontiac Bonneville four door hardtop with a nice interior. I had
seen the car for sale a few years before and had noticed that the price kept
getting cheaper every time I saw it. Anyhow I went up to the house to ask about
it and the lady told me all about the car and condition of it including that it
had been repainted. Apparently they had spent $4000 dollars on paint and body
work a few years before only to discover that the shop had filled in the rust
holes with bondo.
Of course because of this the paint bubbled and the
rust had resurfaced thus explaining why the car kept getting
cheaper.
Imagine that $4000 dollars for a paint job and
they didn't even cut the rust out, what a rip off. At least if you do the job
yourself and mess up you can afford to go back and fix it later. At least you
know what you what was done to it as well. I know this isn't exactly an
Imperial story but it does show that lightening your wallet more doesn't make the job better, so be
careful.
Best Regards
