News on the paint job...

[brtnstrns]

Well the car went in on sunday...just thought i'd give ya'll a little information about it. The guy was originally going to paint it for 2500 but he dropped it to 2200 because i stripped the car...windshields and everything...The colors I decided on were Chrysler 1997 Viper GTS Blue with Bright White racing stripes. It was supposed to be done by the end of the week but it turns out theres a lot more body work than the guy expected so its gonna take about 2 weeks. But the guy is really awsome and said he wouldnt raise the price. So hopefully by next friday my baby will be back. I'll probably spend the 300 dollars I saved on having somebody install headliner and my windshields. Then its time for interior rebuild. Man i cant wait til i get my baby back, its so exciting.

That is one reason that I picked Electron Blue for mine... Plus I just had to be different.

Here is a picture from earlier today after the jambs were painted.

Get a roller block and use a roller cam Barton, the benefit will be well worth the price. I can probably come up with onesomewhere pretty cheap. I will keep my eye out.

ashford I almost feel offended. Are you calling us stupid for spending almost $400 a gallon of paint? I say its well worth it if its the color you want. paint and wheels are what make or break the car.

 

[brtnstrns]
