Almost hijacked another post so thought I should come here and vent. Do you know a good, reasonable Bodyman that is willing to bump out old fenders? If you do you are among the few lucky Bolters. Around here body shops are paid BIG dollars for ordering parts and doing quick insurance jobs. I have no problem with these guys making a living but then the talented ones don't want to do daily driver metal bumping because they can make BIG bucks in the same amount of time doing cut and paste on new cars. Where are we going here? The average Bolter can't pay some guy to $70 an hr shop time to rework a fender when he can now buy a reproduction, which leads us to the point that we loose our few remaining GOOD Bodymen. Another Lost Art???

Food for thought...
