051818 - to be replaced.
051820 -  ..
051821 - Apparently parts are not available from the manufacturer pre-painted.
051822 - A major task is creating an acceptable match of paint.  Juan seemed to
051823 - indicate that Millie's car has a relatively difficult to match grey
051824 - metalic paint, which cannot be perfectly matched in the field.  Juan
051825 - explained requirements to paint the hood and other areas to blend with

051846 - Jaun said the work can require 3 or 4 days, depending on how long it
051847 - takes to get parts.  CCC does not work on weekends.
051849 -  ..
051850 - Millie needs the car no later than Wednesday at close of business, in
051851 - order to have transportation to get to San Francisco for treatments
051852 - every Thursday morning leaving at 0545.
051854 -  ..
051855 - Jaun feels that with the $880 deposit he can order the parts, and then
051856 - schedule the work to commence on the next Monday after parts are
051857 - received.  Jaun indicated that with parts on hand, CCC can perform the
051858 - work in 2 - 3 days at the most, unless additional damage is discovered
051859 - during the course of disassembly.  In that case, a revised estimate
051860 - would be needed.
051862 -  ..
051863 - Therefore, after CCC receives the parts, Millie can bring the car in
051864 - for repairs.  If CCC completes body work by Tuesday afternoon, or
051865 - Wednesday in the early afternoon, CCC can deliver the car to Future
051866 - Ford to perform the 60K mile service discussed with Bob. per above.

053403 -
053404 -        I just picked up the VM from Ron and I'll look forward to
053405 -        hearing from you.  If it helps with the scheduling we could get
053406 -        the service out of the way on Friday or Saturday - we only need
053407 -        2-3 hours for the lube, oil, filter, transmission flush and
053408 -        brake flush (if necessary).

053804 -    1.  I like the idea in your letter today to get service at Future
053805 -        Ford done this Friday, rather than wait until after CCCC does
053806 -        the body work next week.
053808 -         ..
053809 -    2.  I'll call Thursday afternoon to confirm.
