    well, we had cpk over ..aka Chris....he looked at all the metal patching the shell would need ..not much though .....gave me his word that he knew what he was doing.....we will see.....its just that I cant trust guys that have little ponytails growing out of their gotee's(beards) :Do No: and walks around the shell with a hammer tapping here and there... :)


    :grin: :grin:


    he knows he will have to do a professional job or I will embarass him on this forum and then he will have to hang out in the chevy or ford forums....(OUCH!!!) :laugh:

    he say he can paint it at his shop as well....when I ask him 3 billion questions about paint and primer and types of this and that .....cpk just picks up that hammer and threatens me.... :eek2:

    waaaatup Chris.... :TU:

    Never Ever P_ss Off The Bodyman!!!

    Treat him with dignity and respect!

    Make frequent and bountiful sacrificial offerings!

    Wave large wads of cash at him and occassionally stuff his pockets with some!!

    This will certainly insure the quality job you are looking to attain.

    I dont know....maybe he already helped himself....I left him alone in the garage for 3 minutes to use the washroom...

    ....when I got back he kind of left in a hurry ...this morning I noticed my zero rust core support was gone.......its on ebay as I write this down....



    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :spank: me

    Nah Chris is A OK ....he will drop by often and supervise me sanding it down and the primming and all block sanding .....and all other gizmatic items...

    he just wants those buckets of KFC comming....

    frank,

    don't pick on Chris to much, he's twice your size.

    I can only imagine how much body work the plastic surgeons would have to do! a stinger and slide hammer can do alot of damage. :grin:
