$7000 paint job

Hey guys I'm new to this stuff the mechanical stuff I can do been working on my own cars since 14-15 yrs old because I had too. Was raise on the wrong side of the tracks but was able to get good work and earn a living and was able to get my 1st muscle car about 20 yrs of age and didn't know what I had at the time it was a67 barracuda FB Form/S 383HP 4speed 3.23 rear for about $2800 in 1970. Well went into the milatary came home got married started having kids and the car wouldn't fit the family so the muscle car had to go. So fast forward 40 yrs later and now I'm retired and have alittle money left at the end of the month.I have always taken care of family first and even others in the family too.Always put me last.So I started looking for this type of car again.Well as I looked one that was a driver $12,000 to 20,000 and a restored version $25000 to $50000 way out of my price range. But then I found wrecked at the Columbus,OH Mopar event that they wanted 6500 for but it was wrecked so I have alot of work to do but not affraid of work or a challenge (was Firefighter/Medic for 35yrs) so here we go. I finding out that some people like there part real well and some allittle less I'm sure that is the same for paint and repair but for me this is dream come true and I will enjoy ever minute in my very small 2cars garage working on my baby and the children can keep it or sell when I'm gone. My 2 cents
