You have tangled the bait and I for one am biting. I realize that each
case is different but maybe you can enlighten by giving us a recent
example of one or two cases: the work performed and the bottomline
cost.
I have a 76 B and 66 Midget that I'd like to do total strip down
restorations on and do all of the disassembly, reassembly and
mechanicals as is possible. I do not wish to get involved in any body
work at all.
Just some ballpark numbers would be nice.
