      Long story here guys. 5 years ago, when I paid an alleged "Body/Paint guy to redo my GTO, I got sold a bill of goods (no other way to put it). 2 years after he did the body work and paint, the paint started to bubble up, and I don't mean your typical little rust under paint bubbles. Anyway, one afternoon, I decided to get out my hand grinder and see for myself what the idiot did. I discovered that instead of the guy taking the time to correctly align the panels with shims, and panel tweaking, all he did was bondo everything to line up. I swear he increased the weight of my car by 100#'s . When the current guy came to look at the car, I showed him where I removed the paint, and just how thick the bondo was. All he could do was scratch his head, because he and I neither one could figure out why the previous guy had done what he did. So, two weeks ago, I removed all of the front end sheet metal and took it to the new shop. The new guy removed all of the paint, and found a layer of at least 1/2-3/4" of bondo on at least 80% of both fenders :o. Today I get a phone call from the new guy, and he told me that he removed the paint and bondo from the doors , and with a 6.00 box of shims,the fenders and doors fit, and matched damn near perfect. He will have to pull the drivers door forward just a smidge to even up the gap, but that is nothing. I took a couple of pictures. I am so pleased that the car is at a real body/paint shop. The next hurdle is to get the hood, and endura bumper fitting correctly.
