I had the same problem a few years ago(10-12). The problem is with the interpretation of stripped. The garage that did my car charged me less than the estimate they did because of the level of stripping i did. The average home mechanics idea of stripping is removal of lights and maybe some trim, not enough, so the painter has to strip further and or tape a lot. When I stripped the car I did so with gusto, all that remained was the suspension, all mechanicals(engine, trans ect), glass, trim, interior was removed(including dash, I had to change the fan anyways(78 240). If you specify the level of stripping you will do they can give a clearer estimate. If you have the time a complete down to the metal srtip is worth the effort(no tape lines), the resulting job is better and no suprise rust will be hidden. Also with pictures you get a great sunday afternoon garage bull sesion story to tell, Enjoy

Merci

Yvan
