I agree with everything said. However, a customer brought his car to Dave to work his magic and pay him accordingly.
The customer should have known better to start out with a garbage donor car instead of destroying a solid car (I did cringe at the thought of all that good metal being trashed). Again, if he has the money give him what he wants.
FWIW - I had the opportunity to meet Dave at the Woodward Cruise several years ago - we spent some time talking about cars - he is a very personable guy and I do love his work.
