So about 2000 hours at maybe an average hour rate of $100 PLUS parts and its wow time. But, this seems to be the best resto work that money can buy for sure. |
When one spends what I spent on wheels and tires alone it can really throw the parts costs out the window so not fair to use this car as an example. Typically we can sink close to $50k in parts on a car getting a completely restoration including sheet metal. I have yet to add up the numbers but think I am way beyond that on this car.

But you have rebuilt every moving part on this car. Nobody goes to this level of work with the idea of resale. It has been an interesting look at what it takes to make a top level car . Rick , thanks for the photos and the time spent here.

Thank you Scott. We actually rebuild most major components on every car not just this one but certainly not switches as those I usually just replace. In the case of this car I wanted to keep as many of the cars born with parts as I could.

Rick and his crew are amazing....:worship:

Rolled it completely outside for the first time today. Started and ran great but a leaky 50 year old fuel pump made running last only a short time. We are doing another photo shoot and running out of time but are getting very close to a couple of last minute items and she is all done. Thank God! I need my life back!
