I work for cheap, like half of just body shops, where most resto only shops charge more... I have very little over head and it keeps me busy doing something I enjoy.

Anyways, unless you charging like 10 an hour, 35k is very low! If your charging 35 an hour, that will pay for 1000 hours, not including parts, supplies, etc... and your looking at approx 1000 hours for a full resto. Give or take a couple hundred hours depending on a lot of things. I;d say a more realistic number would be like 50k. And that number could scare off a lot of people.

A lot of a resto is little tedious stuff and lately I've avoided them and stuck to just body/paint. I make more money doing this than full restos also.
