Estimates:
- In general, we don't give estimates. The nature of restoration work makes it nearly impossible to do so. Everything is relative.....the condition of the vehicle, its rarity, cost of parts, amount of research, etc. That said, most of our restorations range from $100,000 to $400,000. It is very rare that the cost will come in under $100k. A full, body off restoration will require 2000 – 3000 hours of effort or more.
- We will work with you to define a “Scope” of work to be performed that can help us to set expectations for the project.
