Need you guys to give an opinion??

Ever since I took custody of my newly adopted boy last April my chevelle has pretty much took side line. Especially since new eddy head was faulty and give me run around and a few head studs pulling from block. I have a 2005 Raptor 660se I just built the engine in for racing (I don't know why, I just did)..I come across a guy at beer store that I know of because I know several people who have done business with him on their body and paint and talked good of him..Any ways, after talking a bit and him checking over my car and work that I've done so far he thought maybe he could help me out with a deal..

For the deal!! I give him my Raptor..(that I don't need) I come to his shop and help with my car only 3 days a week M-F..my choice..and his wife says she will babysit lil Wayne while we work as I don't have one..and he buys all material, paint and supplies..he said ppg base coat clear coat only..Hell I was going with one stage myself..He said he is real slow right now that I need not think about it too hard or long..Also asked if I would do some welding on a car or two while he worked on mine for cash paid daily or make part of deal..Most of his body/paint work starts at $6,500..

Could be a really good learning experience while you help with the project. Have you seen any of his work? If it's good and you don't really need the Raptor, sounds to me like a win-win.

I've done several restorations including my own paint and body work but not working right now and keeping my son, I just don't work on it. I really want it finished but lack of time has had me considering a sell out. I can't help but feel I'm missing something though..:confused:

Funny you say that..I just had a friend try to GIVE me a 66 Buick special a few months ago but didn't want to go to Georgia to pick it up..:noway:
Looked like nice car, wasn't rusty.

3k sounds about right to me. I have seen some listed a little higher, but don't think they sell quick over $2500..
