Verne, if you don't know of a good paint shop...the place I use is in Oconomowoc. They've always done a great job for me, reasonable prices. and they know how to paint Mil Yellow.
Bit of a drive for you, but worth it IMO. No matter where you get it painted, I would highly recommend leaving the car at the shop to insure the best match. As far as transporting the hood, you do know a guy with a pickup truck, and I know for sure a C5 hood easily fits in it. (I drove to Omaha, NB to pick mine up).
