Default Re: How much does a restoration really cost?

I agree. I have gotten open ended questions like this before and all you do is set yourself up by answering. There are too many varables in condition of car, type of parts to use, model of car, type of restoration desired,
condition of parts that are intended to be refinished and reused...... The list goes on and on.

Best to look the car over, provide a labor rate per hour, do some dissassembly, see the full condition of the car to be restored and then provide an estimate in the + or - range in a dollar area that you and the customer can live with -if you (or the customer) screw up and underestimate the final cost.
