Default New Paint job

Well my son and I went out Thurs. morning looking for some estimates on body and paint work. We had a list of shops that his girlfriend made off the internet along with a map. #1 shop on the list does not exist any more. #2 looked like the last shop I had do it, so mark that off the list. #3 was a big shop down from Charlotte Motor Speedway and were too big and busy with insurance work to even give me an estimate. #4 was a shop off 49 and they came out to look at the 2 guys in the white Challenger. I looked around this big shop and all I saw was Hot Rods and muscle cars. The owner talked to us for an hour and laid out how they would proceed with the work. And he took us around to show us completed and partial restros. He said he would have to strip the body down to metal to see what he would have to work with. Then he would give the estimate on cost. He also said that whatever we wanted to do as far as buying parts and putting on rubber parts we could do. He would do it all or just what we told him to do. I liked the straight forward approch and asked when they could start. July 1 is the date and the transformation will begin. It will be costly but worth every cent. His work is backed by a lifetime warranty. Now I have to wait for 2 Challengers. So now I will not have the benefit of my 71 Challenger to curb the wait on the 2008. 2008 will be a good year!
