expert help needed (my first post)

I reread the OP’s first post. If the car is a flipper, the margin is going to be very tight. You could easily have 30-35K in the car and the parts not including labor. If you have 100 hours of labor in the car, (this is light amount of time) at 100 per hour(that’s a low shop rate) that’s another 10,000 so your now at 45,000 K for a not so special car that you’ll have a hard time selling. There was a thread a few weeks ago about the dusters selling at Mecum auctions, most likely the sellers were upside down in the cars.

Doing it versus doing it right are too different things. I had a friend buy 67 nova that came from a classic car dealer, when we got it on the rack after he bought it, it still needed another 10k in labor and 5k in parts to make it right…
