I ah decided about 15 years ago to do my own paint and body work. Im not done but dern close. This was after I almost begged my buddies dad who was a pro body guy to paint it,he wasnt into it and now hes like 75 so definitely not into it. I donet want the car in body shop jail so its in my garage and i work on it as time permits and its getting there. If it turns out nice thats a plus but I am going for driver quality..as in if there are satone chip in it Im not going to blow a gasket LOL!
