Sounds about right, autoxcuda.
I wonder if there are some other ways to save money. For example, the entire car may not have to come apart. Perhaps the undercarriage could receive undercoating. I am done showing the car, and spend a lot more time driving it. I want it to look as good as it does now, but a painted underside is not practical.
Just a thought.



I was not even figuring the painted undercarriage. That will be big bux.

You can probably keep the vinyl top and dash in there. Maybe keep the interior with carefull masking (labor intensive and high quality labor). But some spot will be missed.

But K-member w/motor and suspension will have to be dropped. Grill assy out, all trim that borders paint... on and on.

Even if you went undercoating, it's still takes labor to put it on.

Too me something like this takes experience, craftsmanship and judgement. I'd think about Rocket Restoration or a quality speciality Mopar shop in your region.

I wouldn't be surprise if it ended up costing you near half amount you could sell the car for.
