I need to start painting the block, bell and my Tremec. I called a handful of body shops asking prices, but it's ridiculous what they want ! It would be easier to move the Cobra some where else, out of the way to paint. A neighbor says I can move it into one of his 2 car garages, but his driveway is steep, so not sure how to do that than get a driver and 4-5 men to push it.

My paint gun is old, so I would need to buy another or barrow one. Also need a air drier for my air compressor's line, epoxy primer, reducer, single stage paint etc.
I can erect a frame using pvc pipe, 2x2's or 4x4 wood, but a roll of 4ml clear plastic, clamps, tape. I have one window to place a box fan and seal the plastic around it. I have a two burner propane heater. It's really been cold here !

The expense can get up to that of paying a body shop, but getting the parts there and warmed up high enough to paint will take a 2-3 days. Cold steel & aluminum can sweat a lot of condensation, for some quite time.
