Most then likely. The real question is do have the money to get it done right. Avoid shops that advertise on tv or whatever. Like Abra, Maaco, etc. Hard parts gonna find a chrome roof rack to match the real one.

Well, how authentic are you looking to be?

Joe in our club had to spend very little actually to capture the "flavor" of the A-Team Van, but it is certainly not a reproduction.

Here's a shot of the "xA-Team" in the Juice paper

No. I work at a body shop and alot of people come in to my work and ask about doing custom work like this. Generally, most shops wont do stuff like this. Most body shops are collision repair shops only. If I were you I would try to find a shop that also specializes in custom work. Try calling a body shop in your area and asking for a recomendation, because I usually refer people to a few different shops.

I totaly had this idea for my box. I wanted to do this if I bought a black box. I ended up getting camo instead. So I'm planning on doing a military transport vehicle instead. It would be really cool to paint on rivets, so it looks like all the panels are riveted on. Also would be cool to do an armored car!
