The door pics make it look easy:lol:......I know better. Did the inside get coated with something?

Yes they got coated before panels went on.

The gaps Gage are jacked up. Man I'm sorry your going through so much trouble. Sometimes you either gotta pay to play or do it yourself. I know you've been paying a lot, but someone wouldn't get payed for a jacked up door gap.

If he is a decent guy, he will fix the work. If he won't fix it, then post his name and phone number. This way none of us will accidentally call him in the middle of the night to see if he is available for some work

Body lines off......

Looks like they took 30 grit to the door panels, for what reason......

Cover up the welds.......Wanted them bare.......for inspection......Are they hiding something......

Maybe Alan would share some thoughts on this.

Looks like it was his first door skins he put on. There should be no reason to run a grinder around the edges. Just like I told you on the phone, when I do a door skin I can usually run an 8" mudhog with 180 grit and get rid of the defects. I have an occasional oops, but for the most part 180 will get it, if not I step up to 80 grit on an 8" then go back to the 180. Never 36 that just creates more problems. My gut is telling me they are covering something up, but that is just my opinion. ;)

Is that kitty hair they put on it? sounds like they may be hiding something.

Alan mentioned that and now that I think about it, I'm sure it is.

What would he be hiding? Think he never welded it, just left the spot welds and covered it up. He would'nt do something like that.:lol: I'm sure it's welded.:lol::lol:No balls to scrape the kitty hair off and see for yourself.

I'm going to his shop tomorrow and there's some kitty hair coming off.

Man, $800 would have went a long way towards me getting the repop doors to fit. Not counting the skins and inners you bought. I'm sorry Ronnie just couldn't resist.

So did the price on the repo doors go up or are they still 500. If I lived closer I would take them.:uhmk:

Re: 198Plus build
 
i like your build,but that is the awfullest mess i have ever seen on the doors.paying good hard earned money like that for trashy work.i bet you could have put them on in your sleep and they would have looked better than that.i hate to see anyone get taken advantage of.it has been my experience that if you need something done,do it yourself,learn to do it yourself,or leave it alone.

198plus 03-12-2010 01:57 AM

Re: 198Plus build
 
They better not be 500. I scared to sell them now :banghead:

Alan I talked to them about blasting the doors so I could see the welds they had covered up and their response was I need to pay them for the work they have done then they will show me.........Bottom line my truck is being held hostage.

If it is a business you are dealing with contact the Attorney General. If they are a member of the BBB, you can also contact them. What if you look inside the door? If it is real bad, you would think something would show up on the inside.

Even more reason to doubt their work. I hate that your going thru this.

I believe he said they sprayed under coating on the inside if I remember correctly.

Think of it as providing us insight on things to look out for when we do our projects. ;)

Kidding aside I know it can be frustrating. Maybe you just need to step back and re-look at where you are going. Spend some time prioritizing things and setting goals. Make sure they are not too big, and are achievable. It feels good to check things off the list. If you need to save for something, know that it is worth the wait, and the end product will be better.
