Here is one photo I was able to take tonight. I am still putting the car together tonight. Headlight cover, spoiler, ft/rear lips, lights, mirrors, window mouldings, antenna..a lot of work. You gotta see it in person to appreciate the nice paint work.

NAPA had the best paint and price. Two quarts of paint, one gallon of clear, & other supplies $190.00 in supplies. Thats all you need. When you're ready I;ll take you there for a qoute.

Your budget should not be a problem. The painter applied primer to take care of the door dings & minor body word. He also used the sander on the roof and hood because the paint had faded. I sanded the sides (the good paint) with 600 and pretty much dismantled the vehicle & putt it together.

We preped the vehicle Sat & drove it home. Drove it back on Sunday. Started @
09:00 and was done by 4:00 p.m.

How much body work will you need?

Just count on using Sat & Sun for this project
