Went by Ray Stephens shop today to take a look at a members car to see how it was coming along. I walked out with a woodie touching my ankle. He has it up in the air on a lift getting ready to restore the underside. The top and inside have already been painted and it is absolutely gorgeous. I think you will agree. The owner is a member here and is away in Japan for a year while his car is being rebuilt. Here are a few pictures for you porn guys. I hope you like green, if you dont, you will after seeing this.

Thanks Drue. Ray is the mechanic on the project. I had the paint done at Advanced Automotive Refinishing in San Juan Capistrano. I found them on the Pelican board. No one seems to know AAR in OC and LA which is a shame. They do great work and are easy to deal with.

Jeff the owner did most of the work himself and uses Glasurit paint.

If it's just a repaint and no major body or rust work you can get a top quality job for $4 - 6K. The problem is that fewer and fewer places want to do this kind of labor intensive work. So if it needs to be taken down to bare metal fewer shops will be open to the work. Those that are will usually require a wait.

I don't have any experience with the shop you're looking at. Look at some of their recent projects still in the shop to judge their work. $2.5K is a great price if their work is good.
