It is amazing how much prices can vary in different areas of the country. Totally different cost of living. I live in PA near metro-Philly area. About the only thing you can get them to do around here for $5K is spray over the bird poop.

Looking very good- can't wait to see it all together!

That is going to look amazing when finished. I really like that color. (But I don't like caring for black cars. LOL)
That is correct...and I'm excited! This has been a long time coming, well compared to some projects, this is just a drop in the bucket

Thanks Gents...I am very happy with the results and with how professional everyone at the shop was. If anyone needs to have anything done on their car and live around Salt Lake City, pm me and I will let you know the name of the shop.

I hear that, if your ever looking for a good body shop I am out in Lancaster County, Customs Classics in Conestoga did an amazing job on my 96' Mustang when I had it, completely redid it in 'gun metal gray' for about $5K as well which included removal of body panels and painting the jams. I'll be going back to them next year to get my 99' painted.

I know it'd be a drive for you but it makes it worth it when you find the right body shop.
