is that a price for you, or what you'd expect others to pay at a body place? and depending on the paint $1k wont even cover that

i figured for a shop. 600 for paint. and about 400 for labor. giver or take on either one. and it depends on the quality of the paint job too.

well i started putting stuff back together on the car. and some where in the process of taking stuff out i lost part of my sunroof molding. the part between the hingesalso my passenger side blinker isnt working. but the drive light is.

might be something with my wiring that i did so i might recheck that.

i need to find that damn molding

got the taillights in and headlights in. and corner lights.

my dad got the roof in primer and the drivers side fender too and door.

Your frame is tweaked? How did that happen and what do you mean by "tweaked"? That doesn't sound good...

tweaked meaning. the front passenger side corner was wrecked i guess. and the rear end is like showng the most difference. one tire is cambered in flush with the body paneland the other side sticks out like 2 inches. and you can see when you get far enough back just by looking at the back of the car. its twisted towards the passenger side.

now i dont know if i can get a frame shope to twist it back or waht. but it is not good. i might be able to adjust it out using the suspension some. and usea spacer on the one wheelbut i dont really know.
