Interesting....

So the only real dent is the trunk... after some thought, I figured the metal has stretched, he would have to do a good bit of work to smooth out and match the curve where the handle attaches to the body. So I'll get another trunk lid. It'll save time and allow more attention to prepping the body. I'm pulling the glass and God willing putting it all back in patiently.

I can also say the seven month delay has been due to the fact that the guy gets a ton of insurance work that makes him big money on short work. I just don't want my car to rot while it waits. I'm honestly willing to keep the car in primer and wait for round two, but the car isn't there yet.

Thanks for the good input,
