    Thanks Mike! I found somethign called Irfanview that allows me to resize, and I used to use Photo Bucket, so that should help.

    Oh, as an update, I ended up going to another person locally this time (not in Cleveland) and his shop is amazing, been open for 30 years, and his work is very detailed and reputable. Looks like it's going to cost triple to FIX what someone else did, unreal... I don't know if I'll ever re-invest into the car at this point.

    I'm just kind of upset, because all I really loved to do in my sparetime is detail my car, and now since it's so far from 'mint' at this point, I don't get the same satisfaction from it, I'm sure you guys can relate.

    Anyway, thanks A LOT for the help and the responses!!!

      What year and model car are you "messin' " with? From some of your photos, it appears that you had a rust problem. Fixing rust the right way involves big bucks and somebody that knows what he is doing. However if rust is not involved, you can do a lot of the surface prep yourself. It can actually be fun. Might want to consider it.

          Yeah yalerd, I said a while back I was asking around on all the forums. I go to those 4 mostly. Everyone was really helpful... just too bad I don't have a time machine and I didn't know I was going to be ripped off so bad. Oh well, live and learn I guess. Thanks guys

            Thanks for getting back to the thread...

            There's always a silver lining to every cloud, if nothing else all the people that read this thread into the future may learn something from it and hopefully be more aware of what to look for in a quality body shop and what kind of expectations to have that are not out of line.

            Best of luck to you with your car.
