I'm not sure where you buy your parts or have your restoration work done, but please send me the information. A top restoration (parts/labor/materials) will run LOTS, LOTS more than $40K. This is a trap that a lot of people fall into. Cool car, but unless you have the time and talent to do all or most of your own work, you will be upside down real quick. I think anyone on this board who has had a car in this condition restored will agree. For a common muscle car like a 69 Z/28 you are always ahead financially if you buy a finished car, provided of course you can come up with the upfront $$'s. Of course a lot of the fun of this hobby is the journey and not about the $$'s, but it is hard to ignore the financial implications especially if you are married and want to stay that way. Will make a good project for someone and a cool car once finished.
