I need to invest in something that brings all the vultures to the yard. Do milkshakes work?

 

 

9 pages and still no pics!

JEEZ!

 

Nice MR McCollins!

 

It'll bring NAS to the yard!
Soon enough everyone, I promise.

 

i'm picking it up tomorrow afternoon, cleaning it up thursday morning, and will post pics before you all sit down and enjoy some turkey.

 

I already had turkey.

 

Does your paint guy have a DSLR guy that'll shoot it for you? What are you going to take pictures with?

 

seconds?

my brother just bought a new DSLR last week with a bunch of fancy lenses, etc so we'll probably just take pics on thanksgiving while were at my mothers house.

 

i've already had stuffing/dressing...turkey and pie next on thursday...

 

Um....dude....shouldn't a body shop detail it before you pick it up? If not, then Ive been overworking myself for years. Any time I do any work on a customers car, I clean the inside and out. Even if I'm just doing touch ups.

 

well i don't really know what to expect when i pick it up. plus, i'm really anal about my cars appearance. i would actually prefer them NOT to do anything to it so that i can just do all the detailing myself.

i'm crazy i know

 

Judging by the pics I saw with the doors off all that time, the interior would be FULL of bondo/primer dust. If the didnt clean it up....you would wig the fuck out seriously....they get worse before they get better....

 

yeah i'm sure the interior is filthy

what do you mean they get worse before they get better?

 

Cleanliness wise. They get thrashed dirty.

The body shop that fixed my sisters car once didnt clean the bondo dust out of the floor of her trunk once. Her shit kept getting a chalky substance on it. She asked me about it and i lifted up the carpet. Prolly an inch of dust under the spare tire. One of the plugs had been pulled out and the air coming in was stirring the shit up.

 

^ugh. no thanks!

i think this guy is taking better care of my car!

guess i'll find out tomorrow!

 

Seeing as how you know the guy and he obviously knows how much you love your car, I don't think you have anything to worry about...unless he is a dick.

 

true. yeah i think i was annoying him a bit at first, just being anxious and whatnot so i've backed off considerably in the past week or so. just letting him do his thing.

 

Well, at least you'll have it for Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping.

 

Lol...I know his pain. An over-involved owner can be quite annoying and can cause undue pressure. Over time it got easier for me to handle. It is all about leveling with the customer and making your point without being insensitive. :ghey:

Using key words like :awesome, epic, beautiful, perect, mirror, and best of all Thuper.

 

yes sir! right down to the wire!

haha after the first few signals i got i'm like "alright aaron, just back off" and i'm proud of myself! haven't been bugging him at all.

 

The best customers know what they want, how to communicate it UP FRONT, and then disappear until the call that it is done.

 

aaron-the shop will detail the car, but they usually put that glaze stuff on the car and clean up the interior. since you know the shop owner/painter he'll probably take care of you.

i personally hate that glaze crap b/c if they dont' wipe off the excess that stuff is a pain to wash off. your door jams may have some dust. i know when my car was in the body shop last, they just washed the car and proably used detail spray since i didn't want them using the glaze/polish stuff they use to make it all shiny. there was still a little bit of dust in the jams, but my interior was squeaky clean (it went in that way). i still ended up doing a full detail after i got the car home minus the panels that could not be sealed/waxed.

think of it this way...if you do a touch up and detail your newly painted baby...you can reacquaint yourself with the paint and really get a good up close and personal view of the job that was done on your car.

 

 

What's the damn hold up?

 

It's Thanksgiving

 

One day I'll open this thread and there will be pictures.

Bumping this thread to the top is more of a tease than push-up bras and yoga pants...

 

Yoga pants should NOT be offered in any size over medium.

'Nuff said.

 

My turkey is at risk of getting cold waiting on you to keep your promise ....

 

^ Lol

 

Had higher expectations when I opened it this time...

 

Aaron it's Thanksgiving dammit! Thanks a lot for not GIVING us any pictures! Lol

 

blah blah blah, i already hate my turkey and crapped it out and no pictures.

 

Hate your turkey? Should've deep fried it!

 

perhaps aaron was referring to a different time zone (like the one in hawaii!) when people would be eating their turkey.

oh well...

 

Or China

 

Maybe by Cyber Monday?

 

All this anticipation and no Pics. Lame Aaron...

 

Damn those are some big birds. Never seen one that big on a car haha.

 

This thread fails to deliver.
