Re: Checking Paint Thickness
Here’s a brand new Explorer that was loaded on the lower level of the carrier incorrectly.

Either way, the damaged ones go to the body shop, and no disclaimer is made to the customer upon purchase.
Pretty F'd up in my opinion. :/
You'd be surprised at some of the repairs that are done to cars before they even leave the assembly plant.
The stories of 70's F-Body repairs were legion when I started out at Norwood.

Re: Checking Paint Thickness
Holy Crap that's a lot of damage on that explorer!!!! The Escape is not at bad but it's going to need filler and those vehicles will not have factory paint in those areas anymore. That is just crazy. Thanks for sharing guys.
