Thanks
I'm sure they will quote me a generic price range. I will try to get a picture of a rivet line, but with their speed I may have to do that when I get it home!

While I've never been able to come to terms with painting our coach, yours is the second one that I've seen done that way, and they do look great. Ron

Streamers,
We should be going up to get our 345 this Wednesday. The guys sent me some outside pictures today.

Amazingly fast and absolutely beautiful! Please keep us informed on how it wears. I am now leaning even more strongly toward painting our baby...

Thanks!

Streamers,
We got back with the 345 Wednesday evening. Everything went great. The new paint looks fantastic, and the Porsche tows super.
The new look is really eye catching. The dark gray is a little different from the original, and it SHINES!
The last photo is of some of the rivets.
The price that you should be ready for would be $8000 to $10000, depending on just how much dent work needs to be done.
Well worth the investment to me, as we do not plan on EVER selling this coach.
In just 5 weeks we will be in Daytona for the Rolex 24!!!!!!!!!
Rob

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It will be great when we are parked next to all the high dollar big-boxes. We will out-cool them all!

Is the towbar you are using made especially for the Porsche? We're considering an upgrade of our toad and thinking about and '80s Targa. Ron

Ron,
The tow bar is from Night Shift Auto. It has a built in surge brake system for the car brakes. The mount on the car (base plate) we had to custom make. Seems no one tows a Porsche with their motorhome. Pitty. I can send you some photos after the holidays.
