Hope u get ur Monte back tomorrow, sometimes it takes the paint a while to cure.
as much as i dont wanna sound like an a**hOle... it woulda cured already. you are supposed to bake it about 45 min after clear at like 160 degrees. then once it cool you sand an buff it. that will help cure it casue the buffer heats it and then it cools. by the time the car is back together that paint is ready go for a coat of hand glaze and sent out the door.

hope they do it right to.. and like krystalmethod said check anything and everything. especially your door to fender gap. then make sure ur grill is all the way in. (trust me i know)

also on a side not kmethod.... what happened with urs ?????

I guess I'm used to CarStar where they lie about everything.

Went back to the bodyshop, they sucked in the gaps around the valance. Looks real good. THey also re-washed it after it was full of grime & road salt.

Especially when the body shop is dealing with a junkyard.

BTW... is that the passenger`s seatbelt sticking out from the bottom of the door in that last pic? Or what the heck is that?
No Junkyard parts here. My invoice actually had phone numbers and the name of the companies where every part was sourced.. Mostly OEM...

I think that thing you see hanging is actually snow sticking up on the parking lot.. I zoomed in my copy and that is what it looks like..

Well my car is home..

So far it looks like they did a great job and it drives really nice with new suspension..
The suspension was all sourced from NAPA auto parts.

The door fender gap looks good.

They also cleaned the car inside out... Degreased the engine.. Don't ask my why, but that is fine with me...
