I was in the automotive trade for 35 years and you have to remember that Most auto repairs both body and mechanical are charged by the flat rate hour. A "book" tells you how long a repair should take and you are billed that many hours. However restoration work CAN'T work that way. There are too many variables so you will be billed "time plus". Don't blame the shop because they can't tell what problems they will run into on a 50 year old car.
