I think that after all this advice that I am going to just sit on it until about June. That way I can enjoy the car a little bit and then start tearing it all down for blasting and paint.
If I do this, it will be done right. Nothing that money cant fix right? :rolleyes:
Let my wife hear me say that,,, I will be sleeping in the car.
I may start tearing it down this winter, but I dont think so. I have too much on my plate right now.
I will think about it though.

So, with all things being considered I am thinking this:
Start tearing the car down in June. Should take me until at least October or November to get it fully dis-assembled. That is removing: all the trim, bumpers, interior, drive train, gas tank, rear end, etc... All of it.
Then get the car media blasted. I am thinking this will run me anywhere from $900.00 to $1200.00 based on this area.
After this point, well, I just dont know yet. I have to do my homework and find the right person for the job. I am going to try and budget out about 2K for the prep and paint, but with what I want to do, it may be more than that. I am looking to paint the car GM's Sunset Metallic Orange with a bit of pearl in it and I want to ghost flame some satin silver flames on the front. So maybe it will be more like 3K or 4K. I dont know. I dont have any experience in this department.
But thats what I want and if I am going to do this, Im going to do it right.
Now getting the cash together is my main obstacle!
