Default Full restoration

Using genuine parts, what would I be looking at to completely restore a 66 fastback? Practically just a body... I'm contemplating buying it from a neighbor :-)

Drop off a rolling body and picking up a running driving car your look 40k probably.Labor is pricey and a car can take 40 hours to 100 hours just depends whats wrong and what parts are missing.

Way more than any of us like to admit,...you know the old saying,..."if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it." I'll bet not many of us ever really think about what the final costy will be before we start, probably why so many people start but never ever finish.

Funny that I make this post, because like you I have a 67 Coup,e body only that we're breaking down for media blasting, then a Pro Street build up.

Seriously I can't imagine having to farm all of the labor out on a 40 + year old car, especially with what your full restoration plans are. We'll be doing the work ourselves, learning as we go, never welded but MIG'ing shouldn't behard to do from what I've read,..practice, ractice, practice
