Love ya buddy!! Glad you're moving forward.

What he said!!!!! Can't wait to see the car Mario, I might have to catch a flight to Columbus this year..just needed a reason and now I have one. Thanks

So it's stuck in paint jail is what your saying. Good thing your body guy is on a flat rate.

WTF! I watched TV last night and GasBagMonkey Garage was having a "show quality" paint job done and they had 24 hours to get it all done.

They quoted the "materials" as costing $3,000 -- so I figure the entire job - with 24 hours (at $100 per hour per person) of labor was worth $5,400. Put 2 guys on it and the cost is a whopping $7,800.... put three guys on it and we're up to $10,200


LOL



I still think about the guy at a car show that walked up to the Nomad and said "gaalllllleee (golly) - you must have 10 or 15 THOUSAND dollars in this!"... I said - "nah - I did most of it myself". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
