Sorry to hear about your expert experience.
I don't let anyone work on my projects except my Son in-law and Grandsons.
I offered to trade out labor one time. A friend of mine kept wanting to help on my 33 so, I told him I'd reposition the fittings on his aluminum radiator if he would grind where I welded in the doors.
He told me on numerous occasions how good he was at this and body work. After he ground through a foot and a half of the body line around the right rear wheel , I ran him off
It took me 2 hours to cut out and replace it
Lesson learned. We're still friends but, he's no longer a consideration as help.
