If you don't mind me asking, what did the paint job cost you? I would love to get mine done this year.

with ALOT of body work..eg,nose,headlite doors,as well as several old wounds we found it was around...$ 9000.00...but looking at the end result,from where it started, I'd say it was well worth It!!!

Wow,

You can tell a lot of workmanship went into that paint job by the way the lined things up.

Great looking car.
