Body/Paint free estimates



It sounds like he gave a very detailed estimate of the work to be done. I've
never had an estimate with that much detail. I spent a lot more then that amount
to have my 60 done around 10 years ago, &  was far from satisfied with the
results. A fellow Imperialist with a 66 had his done at the same shop & he spent
a lot also for his work & wasn't satisfied either. I would say that if you think
the work you've seen him do is good & based on such a detailed estimate of the
work you require, I would be inclined to give him the job. I havn't seen your
Imperial, but the price sounds very reasonable for a quality job.
