Shannon,
Thanks for taking a look at my car and for the good advice. I ended up taking it to Autoline in Hollister. Ken seems very knowledgeable, he is a Cobra fan, and I got several other recommendations regarding his work. After he took a good look, he agreed with your assessment that it would need the entire front half repainted. After quizzing him about the difference with the front being two stage, and the original being single, he said that over time there would be differences in fade rates and that it may become noticeable. He quoted me a price to do the entire car and with me doing some of the prep (taking off the bumpers, badges, windshield, and lights) it worked out to be reasonable.
So, it should be out of the shop early next week, and ready to roll to Tahoe with the gang by the 26th.
Tom, nice meeting you while I was up at Shannon's. Hope rear end is better.
Pictures to follow.
