i dont really see the big deal in him not painting the car yet, i mean if he paints the car now he runs a high risk of scratching it when he puts that motor in and doing the motor
if you ask me thats kinda stupid to bash him for not painting the car
paint is the last thing you do when youre building a car
its not half a**ed its using your head
ive painted plenty of cars and then had to go back and redo the front end after the motor is installed
