Hi 64 I am one of the skeptical ones in the Maaco thread. My only advice as to getting it done at Maaco would be to get every detail you discussed with the manager on paper. If things go sour at least you have a written guarantee. You seem to be enjoying this project and after all is done you want to be able to look at the car with a smile of satisfaction not regret.
My first project was going to be a 67 Tempest that I was going to clone. It would have needed 10k plus in sheet metal. I decided to part ways with the Tempest and find a true gto as my project. After all was I figured if I was going to spend that kind of coin I wanted to have #'s matching car. But that's just me. My big mistakes have been when it came to paint and I lost time and money because of it. You know what you want as far a finish product just make sure the shop does and backs it up!
Best of luck with the Tempest!
