Look how many replies disappeared when I cleaned up the nonsense. Unfortunately, because of how the board software works, removing the garbage takes some of the good stuff with it. Now, KNOCK IT OFF! Anyone who decides to hijack this thread, or takes their nonsensical garbage to other posts on Moparts is getting a long, long, vacation. If you think I'm kidding, try me.

it's your car, paint it what color you want. if resale is your goal, stick to original. stock restored cars get boring. that said, i recently went full color change, doing a lot of prep and sanding myself, and was finished in less than a week, for well under 5K. do what makes you happy. that being said, two months of daily work on a paintjob? stevie wonder doing the work? mine went from red, to bare metal, to highfill, to final primer, to base coat, sand and clearcoat, in a week. hey, i'm just sayin'......

9k for this but the painter went above and beyond with panel fitting and straightening every gap..strip prime and paint..reassemble most of it and wetsand twice..one when painted and once when it had time to shrink and harden..paint and materials alone were 3 grand..
1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..
A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free.. If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!
