"First we contacted this shop which is now called Auglaize Body Shop from recommendation from a local shop in Centerville OH. The person who was owner of shop seemed like an honest person. After a few emails and talking to him we decided to bring him the bug. My wife and I dropped the vehicle off at his shop on April 8, 2018. After almost a year sending emails and calling the shop we started visiting him to see how our project was coming along. At this point nothing was done on the bug except sand blasting some the old paint off. After numerous calls and emails we were being told our car was next on his list. Finally I contact him and was told that we could pick up our prize. My brother and I show up at his shop to pick it up, but no one is the shop or answering phones. We waited for an hour and half. I eventually get an email stating him and his son stayed late getting our car finished. He stated to back next weekend to come get it. I said okay. We come up the next Saturday. This time I have both brothers with me. Still no one at the shop. Not answering phones, so we call the police and they call his cell phone with no answer from the owner. My next step is I stop up unannounced to find our VW sitting in same spot when dropped off with primer painted on it. Believe it or not I called before we came up the previous Saturday with the reply stated car is ready and I’m driving from Dayton OH which is 137 miles round trip.. Now it’s March 30, 2020 almost two years later and the shop has someone deliver it to us. I finally get to look at the car after it’s been gone so long. I find it’s missing $456.00 worth of parts and I can’t get the hood open to look inside. I eventually got the hood open and still did not find the missing parts. I called Wapakoneta police and talked to the police chief and he went talked to owner. The owner stated he ordered the parts and stated they are on back order. After visiting shop to get missing parts that were supposed to be ordered. The owner was not at the shop. The son called him and he wanted to talk to officer that accompanied me. The officer would not talk to him. The owner stated that he received a letter from Better Business Bureau he did not think he needed to replace the missing parts. The chrome trim on passenger window is pulled off. The window tracks are not installed and it has dents on the inside and outside of both doors. They painted over old paint that was not removed while sand blasting. The front left fender is buckled. I also found rust holes they painted over. The engine cover and doors are not aligned or even have the springs in them to keep them up."

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

Wood, vinyl, and metal are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.

Storing brass properly, cleaning it regularly, avoiding excess handling, and making sure to only use gentle, non-abrasive cleaning materials can all help extend the life of brass. Storing little-used brass items in airtight, water-tight containers will help prevent oxidation and water damage. For more frequently used items, try not to handle them frequently with bare hands, clean them when they begin showing signs of oxidation or tarnish, and avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners or tools.

You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.

When choosing a metal roof, consider not only the area of the roof but also the thickness of the panel, known as the gauge. Common roofing gauge sizes for metal roofs are 24-gauge and 26-gauge. The smaller the gauge size, the thicker the roof. Usually, a thicker gauge is ideal if your house is in an area that sees a lot of rain, snow, or hail, as it will be less likely to dent.

Whether or not it’s cheaper to build a pizza oven depends largely on what style you opt for and which tools and materials you already have. For example, having a surplus of leftover fire bricks from another DIY project will reduce the amount you need to build a new pizza oven and cut costs to boot. On the flip side, if you don’t have any of the required materials, buying a pre-made option will be cheaper and require far less work to set up—between just $300 and $1,000 for the best versions.
