Approximately how much does it cost to have a 77 TA repainted? Not necessarily a show paint job, but a very nice one?

Also, any ideas on buying a car in Canada. Is there any kind of tariff for bringing it into the US?

A guy painted mine in his garage, w/ application of decals and minor body work for $1500, but that was a steal. If you want a decent one, and there isnt much body work, you're talking around $2,000-$3000

I can doo all of the paint and decals for about $3500

how much would a show quality finish be?? with one maybe 2 little dings on the body

Show Quality is such a braod term, but I can do an great paint job for the $3500 (no flaws or anything), I can do a awesome deep paint job for $5500, and I can do a jaw dropper for $9500.

i am located about 30min south of chicago IL
that paint job looks decent, is that just dust all over the car in some of the pics?

Hitman · « **Reply #8 on:** March 07, 2006, 08:16:40 AM »

yes, that is just dust. Chicago is not bad... only about 5 hours or so away.

It's not a big deal to drive to Ohio and fly home. You can get a flight for a few hundred dollars. Then fly in and pick up your car and drive it home. For me, it would be about a three day drive.

Or, Brett can put you up in his house for the couple of months he takes to paint it. :shock:

Yes, I would gladly share my haouse as long as when you fly or drive back you take my kids with you. :lol:

Do the kids know their way around a toolbox yet??? :lol: I might take you up on that offer. I could use the dependants and the extra pair of hands in the shop would save me from crawling out from under the cars and fetching tools :lol:
