I only started posting 45 days ago but actually started tearing the car down and restoring misc pieces back in in November shortly after bringing the car home. I did not want to make a post and then go a month with very little additions so I waited until I had many photos and work completed before I started posting to keep the interest alive. Jamie has only been working on the body since early August but with 5-6 people on it at any given time. They have made massive progress in a very short amount of time due to the magazine deadline. I have not added their TTD hours up yet but approximately 1100 on body and paint and another 650 give or take on our end doing chassis, drivetrain and all the misc restored parts. Annie and I usually put in at least 20 hours most weekends. What are nights and weekends for?
Anybody that says they can restore a car for $60k is using spray cans and a catalog! I have more invested in this car at this point than 90% of my customers do with a finished car. Mainly due to the high cost of NOS parts (not to mention wheels and tires) and the time to locate them.
