Thank you for the reply. I think the company that gave me the $80,000+ estimate was planning to take the car completely apart. However, when I asked....it seemed that 'other' companies would be doing the work....ie; sand blasting, engine rebuild, etc.... So, I couldn't understand what it was 'they' did. He told me the new parts that are available today (from the US) are not very good and poor fitting. So, to keep as much of the original as possible. I consider the inner door panels worn out and instead of replacing.....he would spray them with some plastic paint coating......that sounds like something that will peel over time.
Being in Canada may be a problem taking across the line for restoration...??.
One other question......the antenna is a power antenna located at the right rear. However, I see some with the antenna on the right front fender..??. You can see in the '72 pic, there was never an antenna on the front fender.
