I gripe about the 'last guy' a bit too much. In a weird sense some of it is really 'art' or maybe where necessity meets opportunity.

If it is the owner who does these things it is OK I suppose but if it is a shop and an unknowing customer is paying for good work then that is totally different.

My father-in-law sent his 70 2WD Chevrolet to a shop to be have metal work done and painted. It looked really good and he drove that truck for a bunch of years. When he passed his son inherited the truck. It sat for a few years and when I was looking for a donor cab for my 4WD truck he said just use this one as he was never going to do anything with the truck himself.

Upon tear down we found the guy over layed the rockers and the cab corners. The outer floor pans were covered with body filler. Quite the jack leg.
