I hate doing body work. Very tedious to do it right, but I'm not about to farm it out to a shop.

I actually like body work! My biggest problem, is I can always see flaws, even when the owner can't see them. More than once the owner has said "just paint the damn thing!"...........lol

I just get tired of sanding, over and over and over! I'd much rather be fabricating!

Morning Jim! Don, I can use air tools to a point, but then I have to hand sand a lot of it, especially the older vehicles, that actually have body lines and shapes!
