Have fun with it, but if you keep tab on the costs you will get discouraged lol.

Ok it's scheduled for the body shop Wednesday!! I can't wait . They are going to give it back to me after they get the doors finished,quarters on and finished, trunk/quarter extensions in , roof finished, trunk pan in and the and engine bay finished and all in epoxy primer.. We finished off some of the engine bay/inner fenders yesterday and seam sealed and primed the frame connectors/torque boxes. They quoted me $1,500 for all that work... By far the cheapest for the best. We had our stocker painted and quarters put on ect by them before and the end price was $4,800 and it looks better then the past shop we used to use that quoted $11,000. I got quoted $4,500 for my car done from this shop. It just amazes me you can get better work for less money. When we get it back it won't go back to the body shop until we have the car rolling with all new suspension, mock up engine and trans, wheels and tires , and everything else that we might have a problem with after it is painted. I'm shooting for June/early July in paint
