    How did you’ll ever afford that custom lighting???

    May 22, 2010 at 3:37 am #21432

    I haven’t got a thing to do with it, have to ask the shop owners, no heat and no insulation in the bodyshop.

    Shop has a ton of potential. Lot bigger than where I work. We’re land locked.

    looks nice, like the cars in it!

    May 22, 2010 at 11:46 am #21448

    no kidding. I like a lot of the cars in there.

    X3 on the cars! I was that 62 vette in the worst way. Looks like you guys got some solid clientele. Now all thats needed is the paint rep to brainwash you into using his second to none products! :rofl

    May 23, 2010 at 1:04 am #21484

    Thats a big place! :pcorn: Looks like you have plenty of work. The shop owner must be on a budget 😉

    Something like that. They’ve only been at this location for about a year. Old location was alot nicer setup, so I’m told. I’m still holding out for all the improvements that were promised to the shop.

    As of now there’s 2 guys in the mechanical shop (the shop owners) and 2 guys (including me) in the body shop.

    How long you think it will take 2 of us to get those projects done? :whistle:

    May 24, 2010 at 11:14 pm #21549
