Ken,

What paint shop is doing the work...from the looks of the pics...looks like a very clean shop.

How about the color? And don`t say you want to surprise us

The Paint shop is Pulera Collision Center in Kenosha, Randy (the Owner) is a clean "Freak".......even though they clean every day, every Saturday he has a crew come in and wash the place down to get rid of all the dust in the corners........the offices are done up in 50's decor....the whole complex is only two years old.......this is where the Gold car was painted.....
Now , as to color............I'm 90% sure that when the paint comes out of the gun it will probably be "White"

Ken

Hey Ken,

Sounds like it's going to be a cool car. We are in the process of restoring a White/red 65 Biscyane 2 door 409/400 right now. We are planning to paint it around the end of February and have it all done around May also. The 409 is all done and I just tore the M21 apart today for rebuilding. I'll look forward to seeing your car when it is done!

Looking fantastic. Did it need a paint job. Looking at the pics it looks pretty good. Then again, so do most of the cars on Ebay .
