Antowalski, wrong bunch to start a verbal fight with, and no need to get defensive, they were just saying that it's already been discussed in a different thread, that's all. That's great your friends would take a bullet for you, or shoot you (Dick Cheney perhaps?). Hope my friends don't shoot me.
Anyways, I watch the show, but am amazed that they are in business they way they do things. Saw the Phantasm car they did that didn't have fender flares or the pinstripes like it was supposed to and all that Mark could say was they got it under budget and on time, what k 're could you ask for... I don't know, maybe a car that looks the way it did in the movie? Any jackass that has a final build room tucked away that makes moving the car damn near impossible sure didn't think it through.
Now I don't know how auto body shops work, but is it normal for a "high end" resto shop to bid on insurance claims? Sounds like they need some money. Of course, according to the show, they have cars lined up for years. I could never afford for ANY shop to restore a car, but I certainly wouldn't bring it there. Unprofessional comes to mind as how to describe them. Now if someone else has anything new to add...
