Back To Paint Jail!

Well just got back from a quick trip to Indiana and a waring for some of you!
IF YOU HAVE AN AIR DAMN ON A 1ST GEN IT WILL NOT FIT ON A TOW DOLLY!
Had to remove mine to get it back, picked up a truck I had hiding up there and had to tow Z back AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH.
Any way that first paint job sucked! Found another guy , lets see what happens now. He was painting an old porsche for this guy looking good . 4th one he has done for same Guy!!

No prob Jmark, Spent about 3 hours talking to the guy and looking at other jobs! He went over mine and pointing out every little flaw, defect and esplained why each happened and what the guy failed to do or how he did that screwed it up! And not too bad a price either!
