No, the car was "Macco" red when I got it. The pictures are in order. Lots of red overspray to clean off of everything. Even the torq thrusts are red. It was a 20ft car.

...and $14k later all you have is a carcass with a nicely painted firewall???
The whole front clip is painted. And the piant supplies are paid for the dash and interior trim is painted. The only part of the bill that is yet unseen is the cost of spraying the body, color sand, and clear. Yes, very expensive job. I wanted it done well without any nook or cranny left untouched (other than leaving the original undercoating). Not saying its for everyone, but this is my "dream" car and I can't wait to finish it. Your mileage may vary.
And I think you meant to say a 100% rust free laser straight carcass. LOL Oh, with a nice firewall as well.

What I really mean is I have a feeling your car is going to end up with a paint job that will put most of us to shame...

naw, there are some fantastic cars on here. It's not about wiener size to me. It's more about the smile on my face when I open my garage door. I already know that 65 polaras aren't exactly drooled over by most.

I drool over all Polara's .................
And you have made me rethink my thoughts on fusey polaras. I think they are beautiful.

I though I got a really good deal for 5K. Their standard shop rate would have been over 4K just for prime and blocking They used Dupont Chromax waterborne base.
I brought them the car like this:
They spent 60 hours filling and blocking to get this:
Then 3 quarts sealer:
Then 3 quarts base:
and finally 3 1/2 quarts clear:

Oh it all sounds so simple
It really is. Take a BFH, a five foot pry bar, and some beer. You'll have your car stripped in no time. The body shop will take care of the rest.

You will never regret it. Your quality of life improves exponentially as the owner of that beautiful car. If you can sweat the cash then **** it. What else you gonna spend it on?

The outcome was fantastic!!!
No joke. 300 slab vert is my favorite with no close second.
Hookers and blow is fun, but the effects don't last as long as some good old Detroit iron.
