Anyone have a shop they could reccommend that won't charge the national debt to do a strip/prep/paint job for me? I don't want to resort to the Yellow Pages. I'd rather work with someone with a reference. I'm in southern Maryland but I'm willing to check out any place within about 2 hours of DC/Baltimore.

If not I'll have to figure out what I need to do to get myself (and house) in a condition I can do it myself.

Well, Millersville isn't exactly in Southern Md. perhaps someone in your area would be better to ask.

Is Littlestown, Pennsylvania too far for you to drive? Know of a guy there that does excellent paint work, Restoration and Collision Experts, think the number is (717) 359-9900 if I remember correct. Ask for Dan Gilbert, owner of the shop.

i live in MD and i got my car painted at this shop in clarksville, howard county. its called Clarksville Auto Body, but id contact Marty Wrublik at a place that works with CAB called Clarksville Automotive, hes big into old cars and restoration...and he did a great job with my car. the # is 301 596 9629.
