      I've gotten quotes from $500 to $1000 to paint my car with some prep work.

The only thing I will prolly look into having done it the hood underneath if not I will have to do that at some point, but engine and engine bay are next so that wont be that big of a deal.

        My car is a driver, a DD in the summer time I by no means want it perfect. Cause if it is perfect then im going to get mad when I get a chip or scratch that I know is going to happen. I dont think I am even going to have the front GFX repaired cause I know it will get cracked the week I get the car back...

                      wow, thats pretty cheap. Good find.

                      I like it with the moldings off. That's why mine are gone.

Also my dads boss has a guy who paints on the side (kinda like Bills Barn) I am meeting him at my car in a hour or so. I have a few places I could take it just not exactly sure yet I am on the phone tho! Probably this guy my dad's boss knows cause he did a great job on my cousins car and he was cheap when he saw my car the first time, idk I'd even be happy with a Macco job at this point.
                        My uncle and cousin have both had multiple vehicles done at Macco in Troy and have been very happy with their work.

                        If you could shoot me a PM with what you hear from Bills Barn I would really appreciate it.

                            This is going to be great when it's done! Let me know if there's going to be a re-assembly party or something -- I may even bring some beer!
