I won't be able to pick it up until Saturday, but James stopped by the paint shop and took a few pics for me. I can't wait to go get it! Very Happy

You guys...

That is as "put together" as that car will ever be.

Just getting some paint on it was a veritable miracle.

Silver looks better than the proposed white, but still a light color to hide the waves.

You really should have bought my rims, now you need to paint those.

So serious, Gabe. It wouldn't be right for me to go too long here without making fun of someone named John.

Like I said, the silver looks good, I'm glad it was chosen over the white.

Where did you end up taking it to get painted?

RSFreak · Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2014 11:30 am Post subject:

Took it to Maaco in Tacoma. They have painted three of my Camaros and James' as well. They do a decent job. It is a driver so it wouldn't be prudent to get an expensive paint job. $1000 was more than I wanted to spend anyway, but there was a lot of body work that needed to be done.

Here it is when I rescued it from the original owner's yard after sitting for 8+ years with less than 45k original miles.

And here it is when I put a battery in it, fired it up, added some new gas and drove it home after all that time sitting! I had my TTIIs on it because the original tires were entirely dry-rotted and I didn't trust them on the freeway.
