I'm dropping a deposit for parts (I believe they're around $800) at the body shop on Monday and he'll get back to me when the parts arrive. I noted that I'd rather have the car sitting in my basement than hanging around his lot/shop rusting as the parts are working. He laughed and agreed. He wants to make sure I come back. I also opened discussion on how much he'd charge me to paint the rest of the car while he's got it. The current color is close to Verdoro Green but not quite. Given an all over respray I'd want it Verdoro Green. The jams/gaps etc are as Mother Pontiac painted them. He wants to see the car again, so we'll talk about it when I take it to him to start.
Another thought is running through my head too.....put the vinyl roof back on it or leave it off?
