Re: How much does a restoration really cost?
I'm just finishing the assembly of a Camaro now...just for paint I hit $3000.Good materials are not cheap.....Throw in labor and other expenses and the paint/body cost can hit 16 to 20k alone.Now replace NOS parts and finish the job correctly and 40k and up is not totaly insane for a resto...I had several people wonder why I ripped my car apart...To them it looked fine.To get to a level where you are happy is what's important.The next step up is always a killer.
