ok so first and foremost never take a classic car that you want to be worth anything to that place that rymes with or is named after a shark cause they are one step above an earl schibe and you get what you pay for i did a complete restoration including installing new quarters and rockers parts not included for around 11000 which is actually very cheap for what i had to do but if you can get a paint job for 2500 not body work and detrimming everything but tbe actuall paint job for around 2500 your getting a good deal cause with the rising cost of todays materials it will cost the jobber 800 to a 1000 in materials keep that in mind when shopping for a paint job but for a good all over base coat clear coat paint job with wet sanding and buffing out trash and or orange peel is going to cost you around 5000 grand in most markets however a show quality job will run you double to triple that depending on the labor rates in your town
