Default My 66 is back from the paint shop....

and it looks fantabulous. (Fantastically Fabulous) The shop did a great job on it. They got all the trim back on without messing it up, just a really really nice job. I love the blue.

Nothing better than a '66 coupe with knock offs and side pipes. Very nice

It was very reasonable, I will pm you the price but Mason Road Collision Center in Katy Texas did the work. Nick (owner) has a lot of collector cars and understands what needs to be done and how to do it correctly. The is the second car I sent him... I am not usually a "praising" kind of guy.... but I am pleased. Took a little longer than estimated but it seems to have been done right.

WOW, gorgeous color. Perfect combination of knock offs, side pipes, and striped tires. Very well done. I love the blue too.
