                Do they have MAACO in your part of the country?  If no
                body work is<br>

                ISTR the paint job was under $1000, including sanding
                off the old paint &amp;<br>
                primer (which probably had lead in it), painting the
                stripe, door jambs and<br>

                but they would have masked it for the same price.<br>
                <br>
                Of course, it's not concours quality, but it's just fine
                for a "driver".  I<br>
                get lots of comments on the car, and not one person has

                <br>
                The body work I'm less happy with, I won't have them do
                that again (but<br>
                hopefully I won't need to).  But the paint was worth the
