DAY CLONA

In my opinion, the body work on a rust bucket like this is the most time consuming labor extensive & expensive part of the Restoration. And it will cost you much more then $15 or $20k to do the body work right in my opinion.   :Twocents: LEON.


Agreed, as I stated if your going to farm out some/all the work, your going to drop at least $15k just to reconstruct the welded unibody, then another $15-$20K to hang the rest of the repro/used/NOS sheetmetal along with bodywork and paint, your now into it for $35-$40K minimum, then there's still the interior, glass, trim, chrome/plating work, weatherstripping, vinyl top, engine, tranny, rear end, brake system, fuel system, specialized parts to repair/replace like the Shaker, rubber bumpers etc, etc, etc, etc, and if your farming some or all out, $100K comes up real fast before you know it

An average complete ground up turnkey build is approx 1000 hrs, there's too many variables to accurately predict a restorations build time even when the vehicle is on site/inspected, and often times a customers demands change after work has started...so again, this is a PARTS CAR at best, and a rebody is the only viable course so the new owner doesn't hollow out his wallet rebuilding this rust relic

It is def a cool car/combination , agree with Day Clona and Leon , without doubt 150 hours to reconstruct the shell ( correctly ) , followed by the bodywork/priming+blocking ,final fitting , painting, and the sanding+buffing another $15-20k . I have done cars with less than this metal work and land in the 400-500 hour range . At 500 hours x $80 is the $40k that Leon speaks of . $25k car + $40k  already is $65k . Not being a real nice car to start with , prospective buyer ( if selling ) would most likely not be to thrilled to drop $100k + knowing the extensive metal replacement of the shell ( at least I would ) .
IMO , this is a job for the "do it yourselfer " body guy/restorer to come out on par for value .

That's what I hate about Ebay , it's nice when a car is for sale out there in the open with just the dam price !!!!!

Somebody probably offered him big bucks to end it. Or he did not like the way the bidding was going? maybe to low for him? LEON.
