I guess? You should go get it and bring it down to AZ!

[TGP Nick]

I don't have anywhere to store it here, so its stuck in MN for a while.  Its in a good place for now. ;)

I don't think I'm going to stay in AZ after I graduate in ~16 months.  I want to check out the east coast a bit, so I may move to Florida or Georgia.  I'll let the TGP sleep while I explore. :laugh:

    Just some pics from the body shop ;)

[mfewtrail]

After I saw the first picture with all the dust everywhere, I figured you were doing some bodywork. ;) Are you going with a stock repaint or some other color Jimmy?

[jimmy]

    Completely stock , especially after I found out that our paint is one of the most expensive colors.

[TGP Nick]

Lookin good, Jim ;)

Just out of curiosity, how much is the black paint? I priced some paint for the red TGP and the supply store I called told me it was $117 per quart. I'm eventually going to repaint the red car as the clear on it is getting bad. :icon_frown:

When I painted my old red TGP, 1 gallon of red was $350 or so, and I was using Dupont Chromabase... Not sure why the black would be more than that...  They also have a brand of paint called Nasons, it's also made by Dupont and is half the price of Chromabase. Nasons works well for all overs but should not be used for spot repairs...   ;)

The black has metal flake.

[flybynite]

The black has metal flake.

That has nothing to do with the price   ;)   They charge you by how many colors they have to mix together to make a specified color... Red is usually the most expensive .... Silver has very little pigment and is 95% metal flake. It's one of the cheapest colors to buy...

Just my 2 cents.......if I rebuild anouther car I'm doing a L67 swap and turboing that.

[killinprixs]

joining the dark side huh.... sounds like a good idea.... i dont feel like swapping in a 3.8 harness and obd2 tho.

[GPChief]

You can buy a harness for $150 - $200 :icon_cool:
