The Cove was real nice... if we go back, I need to order MORE food than the normal sized fish tacos & small azz salad.
The food was good, but not enough...

there is a long and short version i usually give before giving the name of the shop.

first, I decided to go with a single stage to keep original (but, if I had the cheddar woulda done the two stage). The shop is a paint shop on the NE side of SA (that I still haven't decided if I should recommend). They did do alotta prep, smoothd some dents on the fenders and hood, removed the windshield and top, painted the interior and exterior, flat black painted my bumpers and under hood, cleaned up a couple of rust pits, etc. etc. I feel it came out nicer than normal,,, because i visited the shop almost everyday and listed in detail every task. I was on them like blak on Wesley Snipes. If I hadn't....
I still need to find a replacement top dash pad (the old one crumbled) and re-attach the other pads and new apron/rear quarter emblems. I added new turn signals, markers and tail light lenses plus weatherstripping all around. I hate puttin ol stuff onto a new paint job. (short version)

PM me if you want more info on the shop

That type of work on my 75 cost me about 2500 bux but over a 3 year period. Mostly my fault that it took so long but , I wouldn't recommend this guy. I know of a couple more but you will pay almost twice that as they do show car quality stuff. My buddy had his 67 Bronco painted by some other shop earlier this year to the tune of 8K and the paint is so thin you can almost see through it.
