MPKind, this is the '65 Catalina in your album? I'd be interested in knowing the name of the shop, since I'm local - you can send it in a PM (or if you'd rather keep quiet about the name that's okay too,)

For future reference, for anyone in the Minnesota / Wisconsin / Iowa area looking for a good shop to work with I had a great experience with these guys: http://www.bremsethbodyshop.com A father and his son run the place; they're in Wykoff down in SE Minnesota so they're kind of off the map but they work on anything from old farm trucks to Rolls-Royces. They restored my 1986 BMW M535i a few years back, there's a picture of it at the bottom of their projects page. Their pricing was fair, they worked on the car pretty steady and sent me weekly updates with pictures, and their dedication to making sure the work was done right was great. The only thing was it took nearly 18 months from when we shook hands until they were actually able to get the car in and start working on it but that was fine since I still had the car and it wasn't trapped in paint jail.

I don't know if he's still working for them but the young guy who did the final prep and the actual painting on my car really impressed me with how he went the extra mile to make sure that car was straight before he put down the color. Top notch shop and good people to work with, plus they know how to run a successful business.
