its hard to say, depends on the shop the quality and products used. I did all the prep work my self. I got a guy thats a very good bodyman he charged me $500 to fix the fenders/quarter (after i rolled them they got screwed up) and he took all the dents out. I do some paint but a good friend is a great painter also, i got about 1800 so far into it and about 1 month of work after hours at work so about 15-20hrs per week so we got about 60-80hrs into it and its not complete yet, from what i hear its around 7gs for a good kandy job from a good shop.

that is what i was thinking, 5-8 depending. i once got a very nice custom paint job with a clear and flake put in it for like $5500 so i figured it would be a lot. keep us updated as it progresses cuz i am def interested in how it all come out. looks really nice so far.

MDSC: Looks great so far, please don't tell me that you guys didn't go through the trouble of pulling the front/rear windshields out, especially after taking everything else out?

thanks, unfortenatly no we didnt take the glass out, only the 1/4 glass. The front windshield and rear glass on this car is still oem and being a 18 year old car my windshield guy told me that theres a chance of destroying the glass, i didnt want to take that small chance, plus on the sc theres a small molding up front which we took out, and the rear window has a nice gap around it. Hey its not a show car by anymeans its my daily that i drive about 18k per year.I also didnt go through with cutting in the engine bay since i'm not going to take the motor out, we did the jambs and took the trunk lid off and cut in the trunk area.
