Thanks, guys. I'm very pleased with the way the parts turned out. I'm probably going to have him paint more stuff this summer.

boggtown: Gash? There's no gash in the rear window. Does it look like there's one in the pic?

blue2000s: That's the original shifter and knob.

As for cost, I got all the parts painted at once. He also came over and fixed all of the little scratches and nicks in the exterior paint. The car looks like it was just driven off the lot. For all of it he charged me $640 and it took a week to do. I got a bit of a deal because we're friends. But for anyone else his pricing will be a bit higher, but it will still be less than what you can find on the net.

blinkwatt, I'll PM you his info and you can ask how much to do the bumperettes.

lol, no it wasn't my painter friend. If he would have done it he definately would have said, "sorry bro, I'll fix it for you." But the car was in my garage and he just had the parts.


I think I know exactly how I cracked the window. When it was time to put the parts back in the car I put the top down in my garage to make it easier to work on. It was pretty chilly in the garage but I didn't think the window would crack. Chills was wrong.
