Here it is, straight from the booth! I've waited five years for this moment!

oh that is sweet... looks like a quality job, dechromed and everything.

Dont mind me asking how much?

It's just straight silver metallic. The quality of the photos does not quite do the colors justice. Once it's done I'll get some nice outdoor photographs.

Billybob--it's worth about five grand, including all the bodywork (flares etc.). I traded the painter a load of my stock parts though and got a good deal.

That looks so sweet!! Greta things happen to those that wait.

Very nice. I'm going to need a new paint job in a few years. Right now, the mechanical stuff is more important, and the paint isn't bad, unless you get too close. I'd call it a 20ft/30mph paintjob, in its current state...

Five grand seems a pretty good price - I asked a local guy for a quote, just to find out what I was looking at. He gave that same number, without any significant bodywork.

Thanks everyone for the compliments, I've never had any compliments on my car until now!

Anyway, PaintDaddy asked about the holes in the exhaust panel. My exhaust tips exit through the body, similar to a midyear Sting Ray. The previous owner had a cheap side exhaust setup, and had the stock exhaust panel completely glassed over. I need to keep my car fairly quiet to meet a sound restriction at a local track, so I use Flowmasters.

Cmegga--flares all around.
