Lucky for me I don't pay labor, although I gave another tech $100 to help me do a top end on Mrs John's Buick when I told her to keep driving after it overheated. My bad.
I remembered I spent $1500 on body and paint for my 65 Chevy truck after I had it for 10 years. That was in 1983 and I drove it for 9 more years. My ex wife didn't like it.
