I got my hinges!

Sounds to me like you guys need to be more selective about what shop you choose. I have never worked in, nor would I,a shop that would tolerate the abuse of a customer's car.

I have, however repaired some cars that were damaged by employees of such shops, and you might be surprised to know that not once was it an independent shop. I guess having to earn your reputation and customer base means a little more to independents than it does at the dealership level.

I worked as a service adviser at A Ford dealership and was horrified at what I saw. But it is NOT just the shop. Park it outside and someone "dings" the door, that is the kind of crap I am talking about. I am proud to say I did ALL the work to my Cobra clone ( except squirt the paint ) and if she is gonna get boogied up, It will be by me or I will be there. PERIOD. I have always been this way, with all my vehicles. My wife just does not get it .

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one like this.

And my wife doesn't get it either.

I don't trust myself to do the work on my car.... lol I don't know the first thing about most of it.

Door hinges are in! I didn't know they were so big.... and heavy... lol They seem to have been painted and seem to be in good shape. But what do I know... I've never seen them before. lol

Ever get your Hinges on???

EOS,
Did you ever get your hinges installed? If so I was wondering if they ran into any problems? I was thinking about doing mine before I put the car back together?

Hope you had a good New Years,
Chad

Well yes I did get them installed. I took it to the body shop, they got it in and out within a couple of hours. I am guessing it was a pretty quick job. I think they did have to retract a bolt though.

I hate to leave my II overnight anywhere. It stresses me out and I end up driving by the shop at night to make sure it's okay. Am I the only freak who does that?

That is pretty funny! You should never let another guy clean your baby's carburator. Staying over night at someone else's place. No wonder you're so anci!
