Rob. I understand. Joe said, The materials are priced over $3,000.00. The shop will use the best paint available. I have seen these guys sanding a 57 Bel-air and were they fussy. I did My 57 with the body man standing over Me. I did not disclose His estimate because, We are in negotiation on the price. It took Them 2 months to give Me an estimate. They are thinking to invest in the paint job and advertise with My car. The trouble is, They are Ford People. His Torino is out of this world. They know what They are doing, and proud of their work. They show their cars every month. My friend said, Over $12,00.00 till He sees the car. Jeff's car looks good in pictures, what They can afford and what I want to pay.A private person can paint a car and not worry about His Business. NICK L72
