    Hey Ted...that`s `gonna be gorgeous! Can you give us a quick summary of your body shop experience? Every time I deal with a body shop,even the pricey ones, I swear I`m going to start doing the work myself.
    Make me feel "normal" and tell me it was a nightmare! :ball:

    I like my guy but pricey is the word. When we discussed the black paint the price went up. I do not know how to get a budget paint job anymore. "it took a long time but at least it was really expensive".
    In his defense, I took the car to him on a temporary fram and had him transfer the body to the original frame. Seems like I was taking him one part at atime to finish!

    Hi Brett,

    Welcome to this board!
    Do you have pictures of your Wildcat? What's your car's body style? Was it made in Canada?

    66 Is the best!

    I like the 66 model the best but the 65 is actually just as nice....

    I've been searching for my wildcat a long time: There are simply no Coupes here in Europe!

  19. 67' is my favorite. Was my first car back in 1975. Paid $150 for it but sold it after 6 months due to it's 8 mpg fuel habit. Ok, so maybe I had a lead foot then.. :grin:
