Ron,
I'm sorry you have such an issue with the facts. Insurance companies want
to negotiate group labor rate in the $50/hour range. I"m sorry but you will
not find a reputable restoration shop that charges those rates as they tend to be more like $90/hour here in Ca.I don't have a Pinto but I do have some expensive cars so 5% is not a big deal with me but perhaps you got in way over your head when you bought the Kirkham...lot's of guys do... just don't take it out on the messenger.
