Pat also told me that the machine had extreme rust-rot damage to the pan area & walls, so maybe that's were the $$$ got sunk, it's a trade off I assume. so long as the customers happy... and I've never meet a body shop yet that was willing to throw in an hours of extra work out of the goodness of their heart, somebody gotta' pay for it. like MoonDawg said, history

Ok I've been Sick as hell  due to some medical problems some people here know  and some only know only half, I go in for surgery tomorrow . I then
  read the comments  And I will set you all Straight Right know .  This was his grandfather machine at the general store/Station he owner,  the customer
does not remember the brand it was but he remember some of the colors it was and he does remember  helping Grandpa screw the metal sign on the machine the hole are the one that are on the out side .The sign was Monts with a 10 cent painted on the metal sign   he has whats left of the tin  sign  ( and those are memorys ) , When grandpa sold the store/ station  he sold the machine to a friend of my clients,  the client then painted the machine green with a brush and put on that tacker  7Up sign  then four or five year back my client bought it back  from his bubby .  And YES he wanted to keep those holes  in there  I talked him into the plugs (Not rivet GOOD LORD) they can be popped out  if he want and put on that sign.  
So  yes the customer is always right , when he tell you why .  

  John did have part of this right it was he not her that had the fit  about the price , because this machine was a empty shell with a compressor  ( John remember this ) and yes I had to but a new bottom in and  the bottom left was gone .

 Honestly do you think for one minute  I would have done that if there was not a reason ...
