Well today was the day. After several months of researching local paint shops, finally selecting one and then waiting for an opening, I finally dropped the car off today.
No pics of the delivery, but it was a wonderful feeling getting the car up on the trailer and watching it roll away. I'm officially on the final leg of what has been my project starting back in 1999.
The shop doing the work is Auto Restorations in Greeley, Co. They came highly recomended to me, and have produced a number of show winning cars/trucks in the area.
They will be soda-blasting the car down to raw steel, priming, blocking, spraing and color sanding.
I'll have the duty of final assembly, except for a few fender trim items that need mounted before the fender's go back on.
The car is being sprayed in Toyota's Black Sand Mica.
So far the shop owners have been great to work with. I hope to be able to stop by every couple weeks to snap pictures of the progress.
