She's back!!!!!!!!
Just picked up the Steel Blue 91 tonight after three weeks of repair and paint. Snapped a few qiuck pics at the body shop befor I went for a little run to get the feel again (sure is different than the loaner Caddy).
Anyway, here are the pics. I'll be doing a complete write up on the process and the people involved later. Right now I just want to enjoy having her back.
Here's one for Larry (myvettesblue). This is how the acrylic top turned out after a high speed buffing with compound.
More later.

Body looks great and paint shines well.
Maybe it's just the lighting but she looks more "steel" than blue in the pics.
Overall I'd say you got a 1st class paint job.
