Nervous! December 06, 2009, 04:34:52 PM Welp,I dropped the 85 XR-7 off at the body shop for it's paint job... Should take about a week. I am just having them repaint it black and charcoal like it was when it was new.I put a new fender, hood, header panel, bumper core, and trunk lid on. I had another body shop pull it and make sure the unibody was straight.I am nervous about how it's going to look. I can't wait to see it! :burnout:Just a reminder, here's how it looked when I bought it: Quote Selected

Nervous! Reply #3 – December 12, 2009, 09:38:38 PM That really looks sharp!! One question, how come you took it to a different body shop for the paint than you did for the straightening? No biggie, just wondering why the switch? Quote Selected

No biggie, just wondering why the switch?The body shop that painted it didn't have a frame rack, so they couldn't pull it. The shop that did have a frame rack only does insurance jobs (not cash customers), so he wasn't interested in painting it. He only did the frame work because a friend-of-a-friend hooked me up.That's how I ended up with two different body shops :) Quote Selected
