Statement - "I just need to freshen up the paint. I'll help you with it"
The Restorer heard - "Go grab some Dupont Nason and some old sandpaper out of the trash and will scuff and shoot this bad boy in an afternoon"
The Owner Meant - "On the rotisserie by this weekend, BASF Glasurit base clear and I'll be in Bimini until it's done. Then you can have your $1500"
Statement - "I want a full restoration done"
The Owner Meant - "This is my first full restoration. Please be gentle and help me find ways to reduce the pain of restoring my pride and joy".
The Restorer heard - "I've got more money than Bill Gates and I DARE you to try and spend it all!"
Statement - "$10k to paint the car! Your a crook! I can do it myself for a fraction of that!"
The Restorer thought - "Have fun! Good luck!"
The Owner thought - "can I borrow your 30k paintbooth, your $1200 Sada guns and your 2k air filtration system and take up 4 months in your shop so I can prove that I can do it cheaper?"

The Owner meant - "this shouldn't take much at all to fix!"

Boy, THAT couldn't be more right on................ *G*!!.
David: From the looks of your 2 posts, are you having a bad day??? Sounds like you are sick of people and their cars.....
Nah, just havin' fun!
LOL!!! Wow, were you eavesdropping on my conversations with the restoration shop that did my car?!? LOVED the 'relationship with banker' bit!!!
Yeah, we got a thing going with the banks - everything costs $5000, which is the limit on unsecured loans and they won't take your classic Mustang as collateral so you can get a lower rate. /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif
I lived in Indianapolis for about a year in the early 90's. Is there still a Mustang shop called something like "mustang ranch" that's about 3 miles northwest of the BankOne building? I visited them once on a sales call (old job!)
Thanks for the laughs/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif they were good & right on the money!!!.
