Well I didn't get to indepth because I figured it didn't matter. Until it's blasted you never know anyways.
This is the first car I bought when I was 18-19 years old. I've had it now for 18-19 years or so. Get into it on my YouTube channel "Vic's Garage" and my IG page for it "Vics.garage" So while I know it's not a rare one it's got a bit of sentimental meaning.
I'm going to assume worst case it needs a front floor section. Previous owner did a bad repair job there. Mostly located on driver side. Also did a poor job convertering from column shift to floor. QAlso I found a section behind the fende / infront of the door that was poorly patched again.
All my fenders, panels, trunk, rear seats etc look good. (Again until sanded who knows).
Given where all the damage is leads me to believe it may of been hit on front drivers side but not sure.
I've stripped the car mostly now. I plan to reassemble, do wiring, install the drive train etc. So it's metal work and paint only.
I've seen people say anywhere from 300-600 hours for a resto plus parts.
I'm working with the lower number given that I've stripped it and plan to take over again after receiving it back from the body work.
At $65 an hour thats pretty reasonable imo. But given several are over $100 its a bit of a shock to see that price.
How long ago did you do yours? What was the scope of the work and how many man hours? Was it a full resto, as in drove it in and drove it out?
Do you have their email? I was on their site and don't see it.
