for the same reason as your Tbird switch story.
They called on a Friday night wanting two more bodies shipped overnight....we made it happen but I think the shipping must have been almost as much as the parts.
I got a call at 10.30 on Sat. morning saying"Thanks" and that thay had arrived in Ca. and another call at 6.30pm saying that one body was already fitted and painted ready for the next days shooting.....
Understand that only the "beauty car" is done right. They can fit and paint a body in a day as you can't see the waves/flat spots/etc. on screen with a moving shot.
Fran,
Congrats on getting some of Hollywood's money. They usually suck vendors dry and toss the withered hulks aside. Best one was the guy who I replaced as the vendor to "Thelma and Louise", he offered parts FREE but wanted credit on screen below the actors!
