Front end back over damage....
some nitwit backed over the entire front end of my '72 in a bank parking lot on 2/20/16 went through hell getting the hood and right fender restored/fixed/glued and so now with Macco having painted it, I am not so happy.....
the sequence of events was through two BAD glass shops, the custom hood was finally restored by a glass magician but the paint found some damn stress cracks, IN THE BODY WORK in areas the HOOD man never touched..... I dunno why, sat in the sun for a damn week.....

perhaps get that fiberglasses answer to david copperfield to fix the cracks and perhaps macco will reshot the front,
Years ago I wanted them to paint a maroon kit car I had that I wanted to flip, with body work their 199.99 scuff and shoot special was around 800.00, the maroon kept bleeding through the white they were shooting, after the 2nd shoot the lead painter said they would not shoot it again, I said that's cool I wont pay 800 for a pink car, the manager stepped in and and one of those rare cases said he wanted to keep sanding and sealing and shooting the poor car until it took....I stopped counting at 5 coats....
Don't help you any but might have took your mind off it for a sec...also pet the cat a little that helps me....

Thanks I have them shut down on the laptop version. It’s the mobile version that I cannot find access to any controls. Thoughts? Thanks Ike
