How much did it cost you?

I spent 50 k restoring my 70 Cuda conv , I also used all nos sheet metal , the resto is now 25 yrs old and it still looks great . Im sure everyone reading my reply thinks i was crazy to spend that kinda money. Some of you have posted that you bought cars for a $1000 dollars and had friends help you restore them and thats great . But not everyone has friends that do body work and most people want a quality restoration that will stand the test of time and not a back yard resto that looks great from 50 feet . By no means am i saying everyone should spend 50 K like i did , but in the case of body work and paint you get what you pay for and cheap body work usually yields cheap results .
