Local Body Shop...

 Took it down to bare, fixed the bonding strips and they took off all the insignias etc. 

 Cost - Less than 3k

 I think they miscalculated.....

Vette(s): 1979, 350sb, as my kids affectionately call it "shit brown" Corvette purchased in 1996. 84,000+ miles. Not a show car, but I love her just the same.

Great looking vehicle Jim.  Can't even tell they're the same car!  And personally, I like the green WAAAAAYYYY better than white anyday.

Congrats!

I'm playing Skyline by ear right now...work is  getting in the way of fun...ie. I may be travelling for work from  April through Jun...might screw up all my plans including  BG in May and PF in June... 

I need a new job.
