Default Need a Great Paint shop

Well last night a ladder fell on my Dad's 1965 Impala SS. We are looking for a place to do an all out ***** to the wall paint job. Motor pulled, trunk done, everything.

Does anyone have a guy who can do a great show car quality paint job on this for us? Estimated cost? Expecting to spend around $7,000

Try Route 66 Motorsports. Plan on spending more than $7000, depending on what kind of shape the car is in and if you guys pull the motor yourselves etc.

Yeah $7k was jus an estimate, sure it'll end up bein around $10k. The car is pristine, just has the damage from the ladder fall. (1 dent and a lil paint chipping)

i wouldnt bring him my toilet, and i say that becasue i worked for him for 5 yrs left came back i was stupid, his shop was in brookfield on ogden he had 2 shops until cvs came and bought the other shop
when he wants to he is a talented man, good painter, but other times complete butcher
if you see his site that nova wagon was built by him a friend of mine who i work with again, i painted allot of cars for him, he s a cool guy but when it comes to people skills he has none
i could go on and on but i wont say no more
