It is about in the same state from a mechanic/ body and paint guy. Its all ready for paint to but this time a year people do crazy things to get money so it happen to be a big win fall for me. I used to work at a show so I understand when you say a 100 in prep. It does make a really big differences in final product.
He is to wishing you better luck then the last guy i come across. Early Merry Christmas!
