Man have I lost my mind???
Well...Here goes... I have almost pretty much near about decided to have my
77 painted. The car is in very good shape otherwise. It'll be around
$5000 for the on-frame job with a very reputable vendor. The shop
specializes in vette restorations and collision repair.

Hey at least you don't have to convince SOMEONE ELSE that you need to spend that much to get your vette painted. :) :yesnod:

Some shops will discount they're work if you do the initial prep working (sanding off the old paint) - However *caution* is advised due to 'rounding' off corners & loosing the 'lines' of the fenders, etc.....
Oh answer to the first question about 'loosing your mind ?' - yup, that's from hanging out in the C3 forum ! :lol: :lol: :lol:

That sounds pretty fair given what I have read here about the amount of work involved. Think how little that would contribute to the price of a new car and you will see what a bargain it is!!! :yesnod: (I know it is an unfair comparison but I am trying to help you to justify spending a heap of money on your toy. I am well practiced at this skill.) Enjoy the car!!! :cheers:
