[FC] 1961 Greenbrier new paint job

[David Houston]

I'm almost finished the body work. For the past three weeks we've repaired a 35 year old bondo/paint job. Luckily I found a neighbor who has 30 years of body work under his belt. He also purchased a 1962 700 SW. He used metal from old kitchen stoves to fashion patch panels. He also used a fiborous fiberglass that is head and shoulders over Bondo. It's surprising what you find under old body work. Both side doors had been patched in 1972. He fabricated new rocker panels for both sides, as well as repairing all four front and side doors. He was surprised that the rust was mostly found where water was trapped. The frame area is rust free for the most part. I was told it came from a part of rural Penn. where rock salt isn't used, just sand.
I hope to post some work in progress photos soon!
Here's my question. I want to repaint the van in WHITE. I had heard that Maaco does a decent job for the money. I've never dealt with them. Any suggestions? I'm trying to economize.
BTW Is the private sales of collector cars plunging along with prices. I'm hearing from people I tried to purchase cars from as far back as 2005 (which means they never sold the collector car) offering me up to 60% off the price they were asking then. There has been a steep increase in stolen collector cars throughout the country. Many insurance companies are photo documenting cars even if you only have minimum insurance/liability. The last time this happened here was in 1982.  There aren't ANY buyers and most now are lowballers. Can anyone say Jewish lightning!
