Thanks Mulcah, but this goat has sentimental value as I bought it as my first car when I was 16 and now I am 50 and finally have a little money to make improvements. So buying a new goat and selling this one is not an option.
From the estimate, which is too big of a file to attach, says 324 hours at an average of $114/hr, so about $37K in labor
. There is $22,750 just in paint work alone, with the remainder being disassembly, media blasting, chrome, weather stripping, polishing, felts, parts.
The body is not in bad shape right now, very little visible rust, paint is decent, some scratches and dings.
