I agree it will cost about 25k. I have restored 3 cars in the last 4 years with the initial cost of them from $2500 to $6000 and including the cost of the car to 100% restore _everything_ to like new condition it was around $25k-$30k and the only thing I did not do myself was the automatic transmission rebuilds and building the engine long block. Throw in a $30k paint job (I have around $6k in materials per car doing it myself with quality materials) and that number climbs FAST.
