I don't have a show car, just a nice driver. Photo is right after we rolled it out of the shop...

I'd be happy as a pig in slop to have that paint job for $4000. There ARE some quite talented, old boy sort of painters out there that do decent work for reasonable money. Many of them have an excellent work ethic too. Not an easy option for some people. But I've lived in this town for 35 years, and have been hanging out with the gear heads here for a long time. So you get to know people. Makes it easier.
