Default First Class Act

I know they arent a Sponsor of this site but i wanted to extend a thanks. They are the bodyshop that converted my 81 to a vert and painted it. You cant find a car with a better paint job or bodywork. They are the largest in the south that ive found and probably have gotten that way doing the work they do. Walk in and the place is lined with ferraris, lambos, bmw`s, old muscle cars and well as the owners own fleet of exotics. Cant say enough on how well and professional thier employees are (all 80-100). Got a call from the owner yesterday....While my car was there, he remembered a hardtop that he had, He wanted to GIVE it to me (said he had no use for it).he even PAINTED it and im not just talking reg paint, but he had them to remove the mouldings, rear glass, headliner and all pieces before they painted it. FIRST CLASS JOB!
Then had it delivered to me. businesses like this make this hobby worthwhile

Very cool, got a ? if you don't mind. I am curious about the cost of the conversion and what was involved. Thinking about this on my 81.

paint, conversion and all related operations would really be kinda of hard to price out because i did some things, they did somethings, etc etc. 100% including paint and all the little things with someone supplying the parts ide figure in the 8-9k range

thought about it little and actually i think the price would be good bit cheaper. Im figuring 2500 to 4000 on conversion and probably same on paint. Just my guessing though. give em a call and ask for mike. Hes the owner

Im just kiddin, seriously, that is very cool. I wish he was just a little closer to me so I could check the shop out.
