Just you guys wait till the insurance companys get ahold of your ass, and your bosses expect you to pick up the extra work for free because there too stupid or afraid of loosing there account to ask to get paid for it! Not to mention scabbing on used quarter panels and convincing your self its a safe or proper repair! I know it sounds all doom and gloom, and thats cause it is, i've lived it, and still do some days. Stay Hourly or salary as long as you can.

Oh, and don't forget the 50k in tools you need, that no one is going to reimburse you for..

50k in tools just to do bodywork? what kind of tools are those?

ive been doing bodywork to boats and RVs for over 2 years and since the company closed i do it on my free time and you dont need a lotta tools to do it!
you just need the experience, the bondo, sand paper and a block ohh and a "dj"
