Aha. Another wrong assumption. Have I mentioned you're good at those? Ah
yes. I guess I did.

No. Bill was a classic car specialist. The bulk of his business was with
Hollywood types who had cash for automotive investments. His forte was
Packards and Duesenbergs, Cadillacs, Lincolns & the like. This particular
RH rear fender he's working on may very well be the one you see on the
attached Packard DCP...or at least one like it.

Bill joined the heavenly choir a couple of decades ago and is missed by his
family and friends. He was a past president of the Southern California
Classic Car Club and involved in charity work as well. He was a good man,
and a lot of fun to be around.

By the way Jer I know you enjoy stressing to your stooge that all I ever
shoot is hotrods and customs --- and while I undoubtedly DO do some of that,
you've noticed haven't you that a high percentage of my work encompasses
classics and high end Euro exotics? Perhaps even a majority of my work is
represented by those categories...not that there's anything wrong with rods
and customs...but So Cal is a hotbed of car shows and many of them are
pretty classy events. Z~ and I have the good luck to be in pretty fertile
territory.

This realization may be uncomfortable for you because I know you like to put
labels on people and stuff them in boxes and it obviously doesn't bolster
your argument that "all the Pig ever shoots is" (c'mon now, say it, however
sneeringly) "the low end stuff". Oops. Another Jerry myth exposed. Sorry.
(Don't you just resent the hell out of it when you get attacked right back?)
Don't worry about it. Our conversations are ending so that I can go back to
simply contributing and learning from my friends when they post. That's all
I ever wanted.

Meanwhile your stooge is sittin' over there just eatin' up everything you
tell him. He apparently believes it. Even about photo processing, which is
to laugh. Let's not kid each other genius --- you have no concept what
creates a jaggy or a ziggy zoggy or anything else and you have no idea how
to cure them either. You can't even get a decent picture out of your pretty
damn good camera so that pretty much tells us all we need to know about your
skills. The hysterical part about your "skills" is that you used to
pontificate to others who would listen (or pretended to listen) about fine
points of Exporting to the JPEG Optimizer and other blather about Chroma
Subsampling, as though you'd been doing it for years and had made an
extensive study of it before determining --- through your superior intellect
and by scientific method --- that YCbCr 1x1 1x1 1x1 was better than YCbCr
1x2 1x1 1x1 or any of the other possible iterations. What a dumbass. I've
heard ducks fart underwater before.

I sincerely wish you two were as worthwhile to this NG as ALL THE REST who
are currently active and the many who just flat ran out of patience with you
and left.

all this senile babble deserves absolutely nothing in reply, Oh
Great Pig One, try to live with the disappointment that no matter
how hard you try, no matter how much effort you make, you will
never, ever be able to match even 1% of my abilities. So long,
been nice talkin' at ya, PIG!

Is this the same Borzi Auto Body, that was located in Highland Park on Figueroa in the early 80s, if so do you know where they moved to?
