Thanks man..i've wished that, LT1's dont get as much love though anymore, people want to see 600HP and 10 sec timeslips, my "lowly" old LT1 doesnt attract many mags haha, plus all the shows i go to dont seem to attract them either, even if Scott Settlemeire and GM shows up, o well, lot of politics involved with that stuff and im no in the know. Would have loved to see it in one though

As far as money goes, i knew people BUT doing a whole new paint job (the way i did it, repainted the black as well) then you should be looking ATLEAST in the 5K range, thats for a good paint job, and 9 times out of 10 you get what you pay for.

Never been a fan of any 2 tone but it seems a lot of designers like foose do this with good results.

our cars are hard to do a good two tone job on it due to the unique body lines and the way it curves. but if I were you I would do a darker color on top to match the ttop.
