Since they got the top side of the pan cleaned up and painted, are they going to do the bottom side too? Just asking as they didn't separate the body from the pan to make it easier to do the bottom side.

Yes, the bottom side will be restored as well.

Ok, just asking as some places don't bother with the bottom. Lately I've been pulling the body off, so I can flip the pan on it's side to blast it and paint it. I look it over real good after blasting, to see if I need to add metal to any thin spots.
