Collecting
the Pay-off

You all now know Crash Pad for what it is, not only the
gathering place of friends and customers, where gifted,
genius body-people bang and hammer old wrecks into
works of art, but also the home of glittering contests,
where you can come in and sign up for a draw with the
best odds this side of the Capilano River.

Cheap Suit Boogie, Dept.
Our next contest draw is a trip for two to Las Vegas with
$300 mad money, and the way you enter is by coming in
and having work done. Easy enough. Last week we had
the person who really ought to win that contest come in.
He was dressed to the nines, and when Byron mentioned
the Vegas Contest the-man muttered - “Yeah, | got to get
down to Vegas and shoot some craps, real soon.”

“So,” says Byron, ‘you're a real gambler, huh?“
“You bet,” the man said. “By the way, what does a paint
job go for down here?”

Byron told him about $650, he paused
shoot for it, double or nothing?”

The customer's eyes kind of misted over, and out came
the dice. He went for it, with all his heart, but shot craps.
“Well,” says Byron, “looks like you just got yourself a
$1300 paint job ”

| am sure Mr L_ would have honored the debt, and the
paint job too, but we didn’t hold him to it, although he ts
still coming in for the $650 version Where else do you
get a second chance like that?

The Emotional Pay-Off, Dept.
It may sound strange to say that in the hard nosed world
of body shops and mechanics who work in the din of
night, there ts room for such a thing as emotion Oh yes,
there is indeed The body shop business ts still not ‘ out
of the woods as far as the economy goes . Spray

This amazes me all the more, since we are going like a
house on fire We just got another 53 cars in from the
dreaded by product of 20th century construction sites,
known as overspray 53 cars covered with a polyester
