Full Nut and Bolt Restoration

[QUOTE=Canuck;1681397]Unless the restoration shop does the same type of car over and over,let’s say a 69 Camaro

That’s the restoration shop that you want - the one with a lot of experience restoring your model car. Otherwise, in the absence of an up front estimate, you risk paying extra for someone else’s learning curve. As the disassembly progresses there will be unforeseen issues that surface & extra charges will be discussed.

I’ve certainly been on the receiving end of “body shop jail”. My 69 Pace Car was a prime example that was discussed on this forum. In that case - the community agreed that it was time to cut my losses. I retrieved my car - licked my wounds - and had a local shop make repairs & finish the restoration (which I’m now very happy with).
