Lol, My old next door neighbor just got quoted $15K to do his 70 Challenger. The car is on stilts too. Stripped of everything and it hardly needs any body work. California for you. I told him that is a straight out rip off. I can't see having more than 8 hours prep on it. Materials can not be more than $2500.00

Not sure on the 15k seems high to me for what your saying, but even with bodywork and prime done ,I don't know many(or any) preppers even in their prime that can rock an allover with 500/600 grit wet on soft block,and get it wrapped in 8 hours and be thorough about it .
