The bodypaint really depends on how far you want to go,ie a good quality paint job or go nuts doing the undercarriage to the same standard as the outside etc, the better the car is in relation to rust & prior impact damage the less it will cost. Bottom line is it will be what it will be, but once we have a look at the car it is pretty easy to determine weather or not its in the ball park. If the car is in reasonable condition then it should be achievable to get it done without spending the GDP of a small country. Thats where you need your list, so you can decide if sacrifices need to made & if so what has to stay & what is less important.

yes i see what you mean. ok .. well i guess just wait till i get the car.. i know it aint pretty to look at but well maybe one day depending if i feel confident in driving it that far i might come say hello.. and see what you think from jsut looking at it. my cousin and friend lives out your way so good excuse to say hi! .. haha yes only cause of the car haha
By the time that rolls around, with our current expansion plans/rate I might not be on the shop floor, therefore I won't be the one that has to deal with it

Thought you were over Eleanors
Edit, didnt see the 2012 bit
actually you bring up a good point .. being that the only "eleanor" bits about it is the kit and fuel cap etc.. can i just call it "my version of eleanor".. cause its only a small block and nothin else screams gt500 cept the stripes hehe and the GT500 along the bottom hehe
nahh ill stick to gt500 .. maybe just not put the E on it .. cause one day i think when i get the chance i will go big block or at least a stroker and get 500horsies out of it.. i have the brushed alloy dash .. so the rest is my own personal touch

(PRAYER) Oh thank you Wild Turkey American Honey & Cola in those small thin bottles, for giving me the strength to act like a half wit, and say stupid things at inappropriate times, semi-anonymously, on a public forum.
Amen.
