Jim,

    The car looks beeeaaauuutiful!!!! Mind if I ask what is cost and what kind of place it was (Vette specialist, standard body shop, etc)? Getting ready to do mine next year and I'm torn on what it should cost me...estimates range anywhere from 3-6K.

Very sharp!! A true emerald!!

Love the color! 

Mine started out Elkhart Green, but somewhere along the way it was changed to Bryar Blue.  I'm debating on changing it back, or leaving it the blue, which I like better.  (Elkhart is a bit too bright for me, I like the darker greens like yours much better.)  I think I'll leave it blue for now and if I ever do a frame off, I may change it back. 

I too would be interested in hearing what kind of shop did the work, and a ballpark figure of the cost, if you don't mind.  I'm just wondering what to expect when I do have mine done.
