Need advice on body & paint $$$$$
It's not about what you spend, its what you build. With all that you could have built a garage, and built the car yourself with a great outcome; It's not about anything accept time, patience and willingness to learn. Not skill, not talent, not money, not parts. All that s*it is window dressing.
Do you know what happens when you "ASSUME"
First off, you obviously haven't read my previous comments before tossing your opinion out.
The money spent thus far has been a total of $200 paid out for labour, the rest is for new restoration parts. I built my own car thanks !
Actually no your wrong about the garage comment. My engine and trans cost more than what I spent building my own shop last year, by myself.
I have pissed around building 30-40 cars over the last 25 years where I spent just a couple G's and did it all myself, then even flipped them for profit. This is the first car I have even done that I look to professionals t handle the 2 key elements, and I'm not looking to cheap out on. Engine & Paint
Some things are just better left to pro's. If this car was just a race car or something I'm gonna beat around on the streets with I would paint it in my garage and drop in a shelf built SB
I had Mike at MRL performance build me a bad *** street motor 408 stroker, 512HP/519TQ. All in about $12,900.CAN
Now I'm going to spend just slightly more for the body and paint, now currently estimated at $14,000.CAN
That is just about the same amount for those 2 things as what I have spent entirely on the rest of the car. Keep in mind this is by choice. I could have had it painted for $2500 and rebuilt my 340 myself for about $1500
I'm going all out this time because I plan to keep this car forever to be handed down to my son who is currently 16. He will be learning the drag strip next summer with this car, throttle restricted of coarse
