The big question is how much can you do & how much will you have to farm out? How much do you need to buy? Of the pieces you have to buy, how many will be aftermarket & how many do you want to bite the bullet for to get NOS or refurbish assembly line original pieces. Since I own 2 1st gen Camaros & I bought them between 1976 & 1981, I put away whatever I could with my paycheck early in life when all the hard parts were going obsolete, so I had most everything to do the 69 ss396. I did all the disassembly. All the reassemblies. Did all the suspension at home. The engine had about 20k on it. Sent the trans out & the seats. Had somebody else do the vinyl top. Paint work was 18 months & 26k, single stage urethane. With everything I mention, it still cost 50k, but my labor is cheap on my own stuff. I would probably say 100k plus (cheap) depending on what you want & what you can do yourself....Joe
