Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

must be the quallity of work they need to put out with the custom trucks (more work straightening and layering paint )
i used to work at a big cookiecutter type damage repair shop
they pushed cars through in about 2 to 5 days from wrecked to painted (after insurance done there thing offcourse) and put back together depending on the damage , we seen a lot of mercedes taxies during the wintermonths
doing it fast saves on manhours / total cost we worked 8 hours a day 5 days a week though
they had a special split paintbooth with top to bottom airflow and a rail and cart system , while they where painting one car the one before it was drying in the second part of the booth , one painter finished the work of about 5 bodymen and they had about 3 guys putting the cars together again after paint

i got a job again and having fun at it too

idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real

i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts

That sounds like a typical production shop... Hack away and slap some color on then throw it out the door...
