Ya know, if I get 60k then were gonna unload. Thats over 10k were going to lose. I have had offers in the upper 50's just to give everyone an idea. If it does not sell within the next two weeks, we are going all stock on the paint scheme. As far as painting it orange, you are looking at about 2,500 to 4k to have it done perfectly.

Thanks,

It couldnt cost too much, I mean, body work, everything is done.  Just paint black over whats there.  No undercarriage, nothing else except the outside.  Thats what I'm guessing.   :dunno:

Sorry guys, that is just a rough estimate. You have to remember that because of the custom paint setup, the exterior of the car would have to be completely stripped down to the metal which would be the most time consuming part which in turn would be the most costly part of the whole process (deassembling, prepping, and reassembling). You couldnt paint over whats there as it would eventually come through. This would only cover painting the exterior of the car. As for the paint, we use Dupont.

Thanks,
Shawn

IMO it is worth say $3000 (your price) to get $10,000 more out of the car.  You would be losing your original paint cost also.  It is your car.  Good luck with it.

I'm trying to follow along.  Like most everyone else, I don't care for the wheels particularly, but I see the value and I'm very interested.  A Hemi Cuda with a 4 speed pistol grip that nice always gets my attention - clone or not.
