They put it on a hoist, and the underside was riddled with rust, right up the fire wall, terminal. An honest shop would have said don't work with this car, go buy a better one, at the time less than $7 or 8k max. ...and restore that one.
Shop owner says we don't know what we have until it's dipped. Shop spends days dismantling the car to the tub, chemically dips it, it comes back Swiss cheese.
So they find him a doner car....only they buy him a firebird, not a Camero, and spend countless hours welding new quarters and camero rear section to the new doner car.
The poor customer spend countless tens of thousands of dollars of wasted money. These guys are crooks and clearly take advantage of people.
