Wow...that be some cheap labor...is that your labor on your own car? I'm going through a resto right now...the body is in shop and the chassis, motor, tranny suspension is done. I am 7K deep into the body and it only sits in sealer right now. He still has a few small patches to put in.

The $2,000(outside work) is what I have paid in cash. I also traded a $1,400 rotisserie and $200 worth of supplies and labor to do some trim work in his house. So, all total, I have $3,600 in the body work so far. He still has to replace the passenger side rear quarter. I gave him a used quarter and ordered the lower patch panel for it today.
The other labor listed is for my time.

I'll have to start a thread and post pics of my resto effort. I'll be setting the motor and tranny down onto the chassis this weekend. Been waiting on backordered RA manifolds to put exhaust in.
