Maybe us here local lads have dealt with some of the places you've received quotes from and we can give you an opinion that way.

THat's a tough one though. I guess with a car of that age it's all about how much the car is worth to you and how long you will keep it. Not driving it in the winter is definately a plus for you and you will be able to keep the car longer and the paint looking just as good.

I haven't really talked to him about this but, have you considered just fixing the problem areas, having them touched up and doing what Blunt did to his car? He said the other day that he's put about 50 hours into the paint getting it the way it is from a horrible sun baked condition. From the pics it looks good, I need to get over there to look at it myself though.
