Cost of Paint and Bodywork?!

Wow, 41 grand, why so high? The car doesn't need much work does it?
It's all just hours... the 25K is a guaranteed maximum and since nothing major was found after stripping the passenger side (compared to the drivers side mess) it should be less. Hood needs some work. But consider that there is also a nose, headlight buckets, wing and a bazillion loose parts that also have to be stripped and painted I bet we come out close.
