Yes, we are talking stripping and painting. You actually bring up a very good point. I did not get a paper quote, only a verbal regarding the ballpark of how much it'll cost to paint the car after the guys looked it over.

No specific work was mentioned, although they saw and commented that some welding, rust removal and minor body work needed to me done. I told them i wanted the outside and inside painted. The interior i have not thought through fully yet. Will I do with a stripped down race interior, or bare bones including carpet, headliner and door panels. Option 2 sounds better right now and they will not need to put more paint into the interior. That could knock off $1k.

Downside is these guys will not do a pan off because they have no rotissiere. I assume you could paint the body without one, but what do I know.

They also kept talking about how red is the most expensive color; the one with the most pigments. Ferrari red (rosso corsa) is what i'd like my car to be.
