Cost was $1800, they striped 5 paint jobs to bare metal. fixed the filler hole in the front hood, took out stone dings, smoothed the flares and wet sanded/polished the car. Not bad I figure for the cost!!!

Paint looks good John.

What's up with your targa top? Can't quite make out what's going on there. Does that panel lift off?

I like your fresh air vent!

Thanks guys. The top has a smoked lexan panel in it to let more light in for the video system since the interior is black. It is also raised about 2 inches in the back to let air out. Yes, it is a Sparco knob on a Rennshift by James Adams, one of the best things I have bought for the car. The dash has a cylinder head temp gage on the left and trans temp on the right with a switch for the cooler pump. The shop is called Garage Los Ponchos and I have been going there since around 1980 or so. Is the paint job as good as a $10,000 job, no but hell the car is a race car and has had several panels and doors replaced over the years so I figure it is a pretty good deal. If you do take a car there, make sure you have the registration in order and get some Mexican insurance as most American companies don't cover you there. They like a week or more to do the work and make sure to take a picture/diagram of how the tail lights are hooked up as they can never get that right!!!

Nice. Is that a metallic color, John? Got a paint code?

Whatever the cost, it's better than the misery I'm going thru right now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

So it was your car that I saw. $1800 is a good deal, but it seems kinda high for them, no? They are all over the board when it comes to pricing. It all depends on what is required. I am willing to help anyone who wants help taking their car to Los Panchos. Just PM me and I can help arrange things (no charge). Your car looked nice when they were doing it, I can only imagine what it looks like in person.

Don, man that sucks. Let me know if I can help. I have a good shop that can fix it for less thatn anyone else with out sacrificeing quality of work. You should come over and see my /6 on the stand. I am painting and then it is going in (I hope).
