PDR Dent Outcome

The problem with dent days, group drives, this that and the other is actually getting people to commit. Everyone is "yeah, im in" when its in the planning stage and then suddenly all that gungho turns into "uhh, yeah, uhhh like my dog ate my car or something" when it actually comes time to show up with $$ in hand. Then theres the problem of trying to work around everyone else's schedule when in reality, its they who should be manipulating their schedule for an event.
I tried to do a group headlight baking day, out of all the "yeah yeah yeah" people in that thread, 4 actually followed through.

Yeah, me and 3 other guys had our headlights done and had a fun day. Everyone else got to think about having their headlights painted and cleared.

Interesting. There isn't much PDR feedback for places up here and if there is you don't know if it is a 'car guy' or just a regular joe reviewing a place. That, in my opinion, makes a big difference.

Hopefully i'm wrong........
my buddy told me this guy who visit some of the car dealerships in WC including subaru, is really good at dent removal, not just an average joe (also what I want to avoid). Maybe we should try and set something up with him
I'd be willing to pay 20 bucks to someone who would hold it that way it'd be a a promised sum of money for the guy. (obviously don't want to give it to him till the dent day)........but that way would could create a list with people who would commit, because I understand you can't flake on a guy who is taking time out of his reg schedule. Then we could pay sum after the work is done. Kinda far fetched but I really do want to get a dent day going.

So as you could tell I was sad the old dent day didnt work out. My thinking was these guys get 50-90 bucks a pop, and with a dent day they'd have to work harder, and make less money= no incentive.
