Why dont you start your own business restoring them?

I have a set of 69's I'd like done......$300.00 for the set seem fair?

I'm sure you must have have a few dozen hours of labor into them eh?

I mean 40 hours of work at 22.5o/hr + your $250+ in parts then shipping and packaging = 1300.00

I always love it when people discount the labor 100%

Thanks for the suggestion, but you misunderstood me. I fully understand the expense involved in employing somebody else's labour. If I was intending to make any point it was that with some time and effort on oneself's part you can get these things done for far less than shelling out $1300 or so for somebody else to do them. I wasn't discounting or ignoring the fact that my own labour was involved but then again I dont bill my labour to myself, it's irrelevant. After all, we work on our cars for the love of it, not money, dont we? So to me the cost was $250 plus countless hours of enjoyment.

But if I did yours, Mop, it wouldn't be for the love of it, and my professional hourly rate is considerably higher than $22.50.

Cheers.
