Charged him 700.00 ....and he could pay me fast enough....guess I under charged and over delivered.

Black is a real bitch, but when done right it looks amazing. Plus, it's helped me become better at body work, as it shows everything. It really puts the pressure on you hahah

I'm definitely going the Gardner route on my 70 TA. That's a keeper, so I dont mind the cost. This car will be up for sale soon, and couldn't justify the lead time for it. Plus, I can weld, so I'll just make it work lol
