Rich, Many years ago a good Pollock buddy of mine who has owned a car body shop, for at least 35 years, told me that, and he even had that printed on the back of his business cards. He taught me allot, about many things, when I was getting started in the business myself, only I went into the semi-truck body shop end of it. I had a sign printed up, that said exactly, the same thing on a 4x8 plywood sign. Now, I guess that wasn't good enough, for my clients, being mostly Italian, and they always wanted me to "just do this and just do that", and every time I "just" did whatever,I wound up screwing myself, and not doing the job as I wanted to. So, I had another sign made, to go alongside the first display of wisdom, which stated "The word "Just" does not apply here" It saved me allot of aggravation in the long run and eliminated many problems, as far as doing the job correctly. I found out that in life, and in reality, and in the long run, it doesn't cost any more to go first class.

Later,

Terry
