my BLACK/ red conv 4 sp 68 427 vette went to two shops, one charged me $6000-8K and butchered my car, gave me two laquared cans told me those where for touch ups, the other shop $1500, and re-stripped the car and dropped something on the car!, i got my car out out there. its kinda what made me BUY all my own shop stuff years ago, lifts, Professional paint booth, etc, sand blaster, ingerhol 250 JD motor!! i figured if these HACKs can do it i can! and now i do alot of my stuff!! and do all the local sandblasting around Columbus for some hot rod shops, for play money../trade.. i do have a great body guy!! that works in my shop,, since i have all the equipment we trade off!!.. jc
