Guys and Gals,

I need help, I want my EF's front end straighten and I specifically requested this to be done but the shop failed to hear me out. The paint job came out decent but I want the front end to line up perfect, the shop said i had some frame damage and would of had charge me more. They didnt get in touch with me to see i wanted this done so they went ahead continue with out my input.

If you have a shop or know of a shop that can get this frontend straight please let me know.

 

They can still straighten the front without re-painting everything. All they have to do is take off the front end, straighten the frame and reinstall everything. Find a shop with a frame machine. It doesn't have to be a bodyshop because you've already go the paint taken care of.

you might get some cracks on the stress spot but if the prep work is good there will be a tad flex to it.

yeah, it sucks. never skip a step when doing paint job, it's only gonna get you back

LOL I would expect this from someone who reps DuPont. They make some of the crappiest automotive paint I've ever worked with. I think houseold paint is thicker per coat application than DuPont auto paint. I'm not putting you down I just think that was funny....
