Bad body shops

I just want to make people aware of 2 bad body shops to not carry your car tool. I have had work done by Rob Graham in Lexington South Caroline. Platium paint and body. Do not carry your car there unless you love bondo. The second person is Virgil Griffith. vgmotorsports in Sadieville KY. He as well restores your car a gallon at a time. He will also email you pics if you are not there of work that he has not completed and also will undercoat and cover up whatever he wants to make it look good. I just want to make people aware of this in hopes that they will not ripped off like I did.

Please post before and after photos of what they had to work with,did you get estamates and a signed agreement of price and work that was to be performed. I only ask for this because there are always two sides of the story and i beleve that prior to ruining someones potential busness it is only fair to post your reasons for coming to this conclusion so we could see and agree or disagree with you.

1st,it's not a good idea to sign up on a new forum just to vent.2nd,were you the guy shopping every shop in the area for the "best price"This sounds like you went for the cheap price and got a cheap job.If so,you have just learned a lesson in life that cheap is always GOOD

My local Earl Scheib would dip the car, and scrape off the windows for FREE! But I agree with the others. Dont just show up here as a first time poster, and c$#%sucker some shops without any pics. Matter of fact, I might just call them and warn them about you! You didn't say anything about Mopar, or your car. You just appear to be on a smear-mission. Take your crap and hit the road! We adults have better things to do here!

go to www.uscartool.com. Look underbody in white and then Jays challenger. I removed the quarter panel because of bondo and I removed the deck filler because of bondo. The fingers were scrap because of bondo too. I put the new one on it that I had from another project. Don't understand why you wouldn't buy new finders if those were do bad. I don't have pic of the finders but lips wouldn't cut your hand because of the amount of filler behind them. You can see how much had to be replace after the work that vgmotorsports had done.

There is everyones information that you requested. Better late than never. Tried to post pics but cant figure it out.

You should be able to see the bad pics in there. that is vgmotorsports. The ones with the new metal on it now are from uscartool. They are great and have been working with me in everyway and have taken it down to nothing and redoing all kinds of crap work. They now have my other project that Rob Graham of platinum paint and body did. It has rework out the butt as well
