Peter,

My 73 TR6 is currently in the shop for a total repaint and
minor body repair.  It will take apprx. 2 months to
complete.  The Bonnett on my car will have to be replaced
at my cost of $633.00 (plus shipping) and the cost to the
body shop is $3,750.00.  It will total out to be about
$4,400.00.

The color is currently white, changing it to Laser Red.
Here is a link to a few pic's I took last night at the
paint shop.  Just now getting disassembled.
