In Reply to: $10,000 in receipts???? Come on now.... posted by Steve on Monday, May 12, 2003 at 1:45AM :
I'd be very surprised if anyone on this forum has ever restored a P/W of any vintage for under $10,000. The hours to restore one is another issue, but $10,000 to fully mechanically restore a Flat Fender & strip & paint it? I'd like to see the pictures of anyone else's vehicle here that claims they've done it for less than that. There are definitely things I would have done different on that truck, but if Mark says he spent $10,000, I'm skeptical because I bet it was more than that. I'd suggest that anyone that disagrees with his estimate is either driving a jalopy & has never restored a vehicle or they restored one in 1971 when parts were a tad less expensive.
I don't think some of you guys can add very well sometimes.
