John, sorry for your bad experience. It happens to everyone. Don't expect show quality work, but there is a professional restorer in the Portland area sends all his basic restoration work down here to the Salem store. One of his Buick's (late forties) was being done when I went to get my AMX. They showed me his Stude waiting in the yard. I might add that you don't want to send your car in with the $1800 tires and wheel combo, as they will get over spray on it. Get a set of beater tires and wheels, I always keep a set around, and send those. Unbolt the wipers and trim, let it fall into the cowl with baling wire attached to the shaft so it can be fished back out. I wrap masking tape around any thing I don't want sprayed. Unbolt the antenna, tape up the mast and let it fall into the well. Use body tape, not cheap masking tape. Again, like everyone says, PPPPPP (prior planning prevents piss poor performance)......Russ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
