Sauceman-

Congratulation on your new project coming to life. What is the back story on the car and where is it going?

Keep us posted!

Same owner since 81, been off the road since 2003 so it pretty much needs everything.


cheers

Lot of work, for sure, but it seems like it'll be good as new by the time you're done with it.

Do you run a business? How much would this amount of metal work alone cost?

Sauceman 06-09-2023 10:17 AM

Yes I own a shop, two other employees and I.

Metal work is tricky as no two cars are the same so it’s just time and materials.

A full resto on a North American car can top 100k no problem depending on the start point.
