In comparison, here's another car I recently had finished by the same small private Alberta shop. It was a completely rust free car but required sheet metal work to install new floors and wheel houses as the car was a former Super Stock drag car. Once the metal work was complete (around 160 hours), the body was prepped for a really good driver quality paint with 2 stage Dupont paint and a 3 stage cut and polish (about 140 hours with gaps corrected, panels aligned and paint completed). This one had around 350 hours of combined shop time in the bodywork and the paint and was in the 22K range completed (Cdn). Again you can expect higher rates in some of the well established shop that cater to this market.
