Smile Filed OR Sanded?

What do you guys think? If you were going to purchase a budget friendly Kirkham, would you be willing to do minimal body straightening if it could save you a little money, our would you want us to do the straightening?

We are contemplating offering the car in a raw welded state (with minimally warped panels from the welding process) for those who feel they are skilled enough to do it.

What do you think? Good idea on our part? BAD idea on our part? I estimate the filing upcharge from us would be $2900.

Good
less expensive car for our customers--more readily available to our customers.

Bad
potential for ugly Kirhams to make it into people's garages only to find out they aren't skilled enough, or short on time, or whatever, to finish it.

Thoughts?
