how many hours do you have in your resto?
I probably have about 20 or 30 hours into my car so far and it isnt even close to done lol, im just getting started. so far I have torn the engine down, cleaned up the oil pan and painted it, finshed cleaning a set of heads and painted them, started cleaning up the rear end I bought, started smoothing the bumpers, pulled all of the bracing out of the bumpers, fitted the passenger side door and some other misc stuff. Plus I have a ton of hours into research, parts searching, etc. Money wise, im about $5000 into it with most of the major things out of the way.
