Lol

tsk tsk

i'm all a fan of doing things right, but it's not like they're doing a full restoration on the car. i could see removing the brake booster though. but no one's gonna see the cross member stuff, and it's not gonna be a show car.

it will likely make oodles of power and still be nicer than some of the shit talkers' cars.

um, my shit's clean... i don't need to post pics...

Dan, i understand what you're saying, but this isn't a member car, it's a shop car, as in "LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO" car... i'd expect a little more attention to detail if it's going to be used to promote a shop...

THANK YOU DAN,

Its the internet thats the beauty of it. Anyone who has access can say anything they want, there is no PR's for someone to comment. You should actually be taking notes and every comment as constructive critisism not a contest. As this is the audience and hobbyist community your shop will thrive off of and pay its bills from. That is the only way your shop will grow and will get to where you (i'm guessing) want it to one day be.

Sorry if your not pleased with the outcome, but seriously from a professional point of view. Your using this to advertise your shop, maybe on your own personal car you couldn't give a hoot. But in this scenario everything should be done 110% effort down to the T., and peoples feelings noted for what they want to see in a shops work.

this car is gonna turn out like Joe Donos hatch.... awesome from 30ft away, then you get up close, look around and say "WTF?"

why'd you edit my name in?

i've already shown everyone how i do things.... go read through my build thread, skip all the shit talking (yeah, just like in your thread) and check my installs, mouting locations... everythings been said...

what i'm trying to say to you is based on this pic.....

........i would NEVER bring my car to your shop to have any kind of paint work done...


as tuner said... "As this is the audience and hobbyist community your shop will thrive off of and pay its bills from. That is the only way your shop will grow and will get to where you (i'm guessing) want it to one day be."

let me come to your shop and do some work... i'd probably leave with a job offering....

Okay i can respect Tuner's point of view, and I appr that.

And Just because it's a forum there no need to forget your manners, you will never walk to someone and tell them that to there face. point is were all adults here, @ least i hope and I personally treat people with respect in there face and on the computer.

The car was not painted @ HMS shop we do not paint.

if i walked in your shop tomorrow, and saw this car, i'd be like "sweet whip, but who did the paint? shit looks retarded"... i'm just up front like that...


wasn't painted at your shop? better get your $$$ back from MAACO...

[sullivanracing06]

agreed

[dan]

if they don't do paint, who cares? other than the brake booster, you won't see any of that once it's sprayed the actual color. and if he never showed you guys the progress pictures, you would NEVER know that the brake booster was left on during paint.

i agree, a shop car *should* showcase nothing but the best, but some people just don't put emphasis on some of those little things, at least not a shop that doesn't do in-house paint/body work.

i just don't put much emphasis on my decision to give or not give business to a shop based on its shop car. most shop cars are just a shit ton of wholesale parts they can get for good prices and throw it all together. unless they're showing off custom fabbed things or some really good tuning, it only shows me a shop's ability to install parts.



i think we should save final judgment until the final paint is done. the overspray stuff on the xmember can be cleaned up if someone really wanted to..and like i said, the booster will look fine. and i dunno why im defending anyone, i just feel like being debater tonight.

i agree with you to some extent Dan, BUT, and there's always a BUT, a shop car, at least for me, if i had a shop that i was building a car for, would be for customers to see, and look at what CAN be done... not "ignore the paint, look at all the sweet parts we put on"..

i've learned this in the process of shopping for shit for my house, and picking out granite counter tops... most of those places have show rooms... one place, the one i decided to go with, had a BEAUTIFUL showroom, with some of the best granite they had... under the tops, were various colored and designed cabinits, just to give a customer an idea of what the GRANITE would look like... i asked the guy "so, you guys do cabinets too?" (at the time i was cabinet and counter top shopping), and he said no, that they were there, in thier various colors and design, to showcase the various levels of granite...

paint in an engine bay should be no exception... yeah, he's building a shop car, maybe to show off his installs, and work, but being a build thread from an actual shop, and not some regular joe (not Dono), who's working at publix getting his way through school like your average build thread... because he IS a PROFESSIONAL, there is a higher standard, and expectations. just like whitengold and his turbo crown vic donks, drifthappy and his manifolds, they place themselves in a higher catagory by claiming thier work as a business...

OP, you should take into consideration the things we say, more so than what i do on my build threads, as you're basically, showing the nitty gritty on what you can do for a customers car to the general public, and not behind your bay doors, where no one ever sees anything but the end result..

book over, thanks.... as you were.

gonna go make some state fair corn dogs now...
