hey guy's,just wanted to give a word of addvice that im sure you all know.when you take your pride and joy "restored 66 el camino"in for service,even at a reputable place,always make sure to emphasize that they take care while working on it.i took mine in over the weekend for brake work.i told the manager over and over that the paint was new and that they be extra careful.he insisted that they never have anything happen to car they had in there.when i went to pick it up i noticed right away that the hood "where it meets the fender" had the paint peeled back.when i talked to the guy that actually worked on it he insisted that he didn't do it.lucky for me
i took the manager around the truck and he saw no scratches or dings on it.what appears to have happend is that when they closed the hood they closed it with all the pressure on the front corner of the hood and slammed it hard enough to push the corner father down.the edge of the hood cought the head of a screw and lifted the paint.i have closed this hood countless times without having to slamm it and it never chipped.well we have worked it out and they are going to have the hood repainted at thier cost.my only concern is that they don't match the paint right.well i will let you guys know how it turns.
Thanks for the ears:elc66
