I went to the Hot Rod Shop near Queen Creek for mechanical work, which it turns out they do very little of. While I was there the fellow took a cursory look and gave me a very round about estimate of $35k USD plus or minus (more than likely plus).
At home in Canada I had a restorer look over my other car. With the extent of work he wanted to do I'd be looking at close to $60k CDN. At best the non desirable 2nd gen FB would be worth $20-25K.
40 years ago I dabbled in painting cars I was flipping. I found the work too tedious for my tastes. At $125/hr shop rates I am going the DIY route an try not to screw up badly.
