I've done everything to my project in my 2 car garage. I'll leave the paint to the experts at Autokraft, though.

Default Garage Built

i do all my own work , except paint and body(done it before but need so much room and the mess)I let a shop do that - or a buddy- thats why my car has been at shop for 2 years+ i have self build rear end and eng/trans waiting for him to get it done , after having a shop years ago tell me they would install a 350 in my camaro - and get a 327 that soon started using oil die to 1 bad piston/rings on 1 cylinder among other things they screwed up like putting wrong spark plugs in heads and a few other things I figured I could screw it up just as bad as they did for alot less money ! I am not a good mechanic but im still learning now if i ever get my car back.....
im pretty tired of reading about everybodys progress on their rides here over the last 2 years and i got NOTHIN , its killen me

I know the feeling . I started to feel like a benched player on here, invested in the game but not part of it. Starting to get a little "game" time though .

Just think, when you get your car back, you have a lot of stuff ready for it .

I did everything that I had the experience and/or tools to do. Basically everything except for the painting, welding and transmission/rear axle rebuilding.

I will be building mine on my own. I will farm out the short block and probably let someone that really knows what they are doing shoot the final paint. I will do any fab, metal work, priming, blocking and assembly.

Default Garage built

Mine is also garage built car. Brian Kellison Painted my car And did an awsome job in his own garage. He helped W/ headliner & interior & glass installation . He also painted Mizfit motorsports camaro for only $6000.00 dollars that just sold on ebay for 185.000.00 . now thats a bargin guys. It might be worth shipping your car to kellisons Kustoms in Lawrence Ks. (785-843-3123 )to make kind or profit.
