dont get pissed cause you know chuck and nick are right...if they are gonna fix marks car then thats fine...but just dont get pissed off when someone else points out flaws in your car at other shows...i do not think that marks car is a big time show car like has been said time and time again...granted its a decent put together car but not a big time show car...whatever

Dude you act like if nobody likes any of your cars, its the end of the world. So what if Tjamz isn't sold on it..he's not driving it now is he? You're not driving it. Mark told me the only time hes gonna drive it is when he never will leave it out of his sites IE Cruisin. Why is it that when somebody questions the work of another, there'll always be someone there that has nothin to do with it to think its their problem. Nobody dissed it, nobody said it sucked, in fact there was more positive and "I like it" remarks then there were negative ones.

so him saying that he is not convicned YET is talking smack? wow you must eat some funny cheeri-o's.I would call that expressing an opinion.

As for Marks new paint job, yes, it was a nice PAINT job, there were a lot of other things that I thought could have been done better by Oddens (gaps, bumpers not matching up, runs in the clear, overspray, taillight pans not grafted smoothly, etc....) Mark has a very nice looking car, and some of those things can be straightened out yet<u>, but I'm still not sold on Oddens being a quality shop</u>
To me the underlined stuff is talking smack, maybe not to you but to me it is.I dont think I could think of a nicer way to say that there are flaws, and they'd need to fixed before he would take his car there.
Your idea of talking smack is very very different then mine.
To me it would be like:
The car was rushed, the paint and body work has imperfections. Any REAL bodyshop would understand that there are serious flaws, and basically it looks like shit. If they want to make showcars on a national level, they need to ramp up the quality of thier work times 10x.
Now I haven't seen the car, I dont feel that way, but to me, thats what smack talking is. Not what chuck said.

To me the underlined stuff is talking smack, maybe not to you but to me it is.reason being...he was talking about the big time show quality...think about it...

IMO if the car was not ready and they didn't want it nit picked it should have never been @ a "car show" in the first place then. People are going to look @ it and look it @ in detail. If people think by myself and Chuck voicing our opinions on it are jealous thats just ridiculous. Both myself and Chuck could own a vehicle of that status and more there's no doubt. I just definatly would have done things differently before painting. Even on my hatch i pulled all the windows, the motor, all the seals and all the wiring before it was sprayed. Tape lines, overspray, unpainted engine bays, unpainted jams are killers for a nice paint job. Some of these are just things some of us notice.

good call nick, What they gonna say now?

Defending them from what? We dont have any guns or anything. -
it's alright to defend your friends car and shop but when there isn't anything to be defending then it makes no sense to try... oddens might be a good shop but everyone has their own shop they tend to go to more than others... you said oddens is yours, chuck trusts a different shop, everyone has their own tastes they were just explaining the things that they noticed that they would have liked to seen different..

Thing Mark needs to learn is that these things CANNOT be done overnight and he always waits till the last minute then decides he wants it done now. I've done so work for him in the past then he changed his mind last minute and wanted his stereo done next day for the Tintmasters show last year. Well it was rushed worked all night and i will admit, it is far from perfect. You cant rush these kind of jobs but if he wants them done in a rush to make these certain events that he's not gonna get the 100% quality that should be put into it. Simple reason why i will not rush any job like that EVER again and i will not do anymore work from him as he still owes me $486 from that job.
Simple fact, QUALITY CANNOT BE HAD OVERNIGHT!! Expect much less if you want it done in a hurry, end of story!! I am not bashing anyones car anyones work just stating my opinion on what was done @ the time i saw it.

Anytime anything is rushed it will always be half assed. Whether it is motor work, body work, whatever.
Tufte, myself, and a few others learned our lesson the hard way when trying to rush body work. Never again.

Yeah, we tried to rush my civic done and just ended up saying fuck it, its only a show. Ended up skipping that one and starting fresh and it turned out a lot better than it ever would have if we woulda rushed for that event. Simply not worth the disaster just to make a local show.
I'll be willing to put my car up for full inspection once its finisherd for criticism on paint/body work, metal fab, and audio/visual setup. Perfection is pretty much unachievable it's who can come the closest to it that counts.
