Cost of Paint and Bodywork?!

I hear ya! Tim the toolman, I mean Mike the toolman! I just painted my 64 Comet its original color that is Merc's version of that tan!! I call it "understated" pretty!! Those mags really set it off!
I don't have the money to have it painted start to finish at someone else's shop and I don't have a shop or garage space to take it all apart and haul the carcass off to have it done. Heck, I don't have the drive to do a 2 year project like that. My 66 will stay like it is. The next guy can paint it if he chooses. That's one of the reasons why I bought my Swinger. I have one I can polish and one that I can't. (don't) :lol: :lol:
