It seems that a lot of body shop guys have drug issues... One of our friends who has an extremely bad habit of collecting dead VW's once put it nicely... "They're all damn tweakers. It's tweaker work, so that's why we don't want to do it, but all they do is work and crank, cheek and tweak." (i don't know what part of that means, but ignorance is bliss!!!) I do know that it's really damn boring wet-sanding an entire car... Luckily, our Mike is absolutely not a drug addict. Epilogue to the primer thing will hopefully be coming soon. I'm going to go over to his house tomorrow afternoon to take some pictures... hopefully there will be some difference shown!!!! |

OK here goes!!!
"Erika" (she now has a name....) is back at Joe's house. Mike is paid in full, so far. Little bit of remaining work on decks and doors, but the big part is finished. Mike does not get paid for decks and doors until they are delivered. He seems to be pretty motivated with the "carrot" approach, rather than the "big stick" approach. Just ask him to do work right before the house or Harley payment is due, and you get results. Anyhoo... it seems that he did a great job, and the car (ahem... Erika) is beautiful!!!
