Good call on the silver. To be honest, either way it would be a stunner.

Bummer to hear about the body guy. I'd be prepared to write off any $ you gave him if you pull the car. I learned long ago to NEVER give a body guy $ up front if you want your car done in any reasonable amount of time, if at all. Most of them only work when they are earning the $. If they already have it there are other paying jobs that keep coming in that they put at the head of the pack.
