Paint jobs cost too much these days, gonna do my own and drive it, hope for the best.

I agree, my 51 is so nice I'm afraid to drive it.

That's part of the reason I decided to paint my 64 Suburban myself. I just started last weekend. It was over $600 for 2 gallons of paint. So I can't imagine what it would cost now to pay someone else to do a paint job.
