[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2887613, member: 13307"]End goal is matte black, so it could be pink for all I care when it gets to me. ;) (My previous El Camino was a 1971 that was still in gray primer.

When I graduated (and needed to move from Salt Lake City to St. Louis) I got lucky...it was going to cost about $1,500 to ship it...well, I got lucky because it snowed while it was parked on the street and some lady just scraped the entire driver's side (bumper to bumper and everything in between.)
