Hey all, I just wanted to let you know about a guy in Florence, Jim White. He is putting the finishing touches on my 68 Coronet R/T and has done an excellent job. Its a black car, and he and his guys spent the necessary time to get it totally straight and completely slick. He's a paint and body guy, not a restorer, but he's trying to start out on his own after working for an insurance repair shop for years.
He's a nice guy, honest almost to a fault, and REALLY wants to do top-notch paint jobs for people who appreciate the work involved. I am digging deep to pay him for this Coronet and then my 67 Coronet Wagon, and other than these two cars he has no current projects.
His number is 2567650320, and is located outside of Florence. He's really hurting to do serious work this winter, so if you've got something that needs painting, then can do the rest of the work yourself, he's the man to call. He didn't strip the car to its shell, but did strip the paint completely (I had one layer of laquer over two of enamel and it wasn't working any more) and did the jambs, trunk and hood and all on the car for a little more than $4k - an awesome price for a perfect black paint job. If you took the car to him in pieces or stripped he might do even better. The main thing is he needs some work over the winter and really wants to work for people who appreciate a GREAT paint job.
