Dude,
What you need to do is keep the black one and let me have the Kracken I love that color. I almost made an offer on that car when I saw it but it would have caused a divorce. LOL When are we going to see some more Pics???

Ah, gotchya now. My brother and I were discussing this earlier today. I've tried many times to "reach" Roger; to engage him in conversation about my car, or his cars, or any number of the amazing rides that happen to be sitting in front of his shop on any given day. He's simply not interested. My other local shop, SSI in Towson... those dudes are enthusiasts and a treat to be around. They race 944 turbos (not this season, unfortunately; I believe they're reworking their roll cage or something), but more importantly, they're really into Porsches. I think that's critical when seeking out a mechanic you can trust with classic car repair. Fortunately my brother and I do everything together at his shop; he's a professional, and I'm a professional learner. I go to SSI for alignments, dyno testing, etc, but if I had to I would trust them to do major work on my 928. Roger will never touch one of my cars again.
Honestly - if the passion fades, you have to get out. I do this stuff day in day out and I only gain more passion. A guy like Todd, or Greg Brown or.... Well, I am going to be cautious and not mention many others, have TRUE passion - they love the work from what I can see.
As in any profession, you have to get out of it when you find yourself "Phoning it in"

Ugh. That patch is frame damage. Even if you somehow determined that to be a good idea for lift points, the drilling of screw holes is hideous.
If you must attatch a channel over that feature, body epoxy would be a quick fix. Of course welding is ideal but that would take some skill and prep work.
