Cost of Paint and Bodywork?!
I am restoring my '68 FS FB 340 and trying to do it right. Not a concours restoration, but upgrading what is important to make the car solid and safe. I had AMD replace the rear quarters and valance to repair damage to the car from before I purchased it in '69. Also fixed the rust in the quarter panels, but that was all the rust on the car. Had USCT stiffening kit level 2 installed to improve rigidity. This cost almost $15K. Using 11.75" '73+ front and Liberty rear disk brakes.
Cars Remember When in Littleton, CO is doing the paint, trim and assembly. The paint and all the other work will be in the range of $40K. Nothing is cheap if you want it done right and don't have the time/skills to do it yourself. I know my limitations on paint and body work. But after 54 years of ownership, I want the car near perfect for driving and still be a show stunning car.
