Looks really good.

You hit it on the head!
The painter does this part time and out of love for his hobby!
He only wants to work on cool stuff though! (LOL- alot like me and probably everyone else on LS1!)

that guy must not be all there to do a job like that for a lt1. I would get $8-10 k to do a job like that.

WAS hard to sleep for a Month!

I was so excited about the paint and trying hard to not think about the chance I'd never see the car again.

Like I said, I did meet the guy and had a good vibe but that's all I had to go on and this deal looked to good to be true from beginning to end.

I took a big chance and it paid off this time.
This guy turned out to be trustworthy and top-notch (just a young guy working in his garage as a hobby) I would recomend him to anyone local.

P.M. me for his contact info if seriously want

I paid 10,000.00 even to get my lt1 painted. I had the whole car disassembled including having the rear window removed so I wouldn't have tape lines. I went from black to sunset orange. Whats that color called and I like how he did the hood.

Looks great man! Body shops would charge you an arm and a leg for that! I did my car in my garage too. The only thing i'm surprised about is that he didn't take the door molding off, would look better without it or should of removed it and then reinstalled it!
