WoW! Looking good! It's nice to see a factory stereo in the dash. I had mine until a year and a half ago and had to switch it with a new aftermarket one because it didn't sound that good.

Your attention to detail is really noticeable and the finished product looks like it'll be a show winner!

$13,000

Money well spent. When I got mine done in late 2000 - early 2001, I paid $4,900.00. My car didn't need any bodywork except for in the roof (rust around the sunroof). I stripped the entire car and gave it to the painter in pieces. I also reassembled the entire car. Just by doing this, I probably saved at least $2,000.00. It seems the rates have gone way up in the past 6 years. But.......ya gotta pay if you want a show quality paint job.
