I guess the real question is how much are you willing to pay? It is no problem figuring out what you want or who to do it, the problem is when it comes time to shell out the $$$$$$$$$ Whatever the price quote you get just go ahead and tack on another 30% - 40% "surprise" money for the "we couldn't find a good _______ (fill in blank) for a decent price so we had to pay double what it usually costs or "We got the car back from the stripper and we have some bad news........

If you're dreaming that it's not going to cost more than what you think, well then.......you're dreaming You can spend triple or more to restore a car the way you want than what it is actually worth but if that's what fires your rocket

So how much are you willing to spend, that's what should determine your restoration IMO and don't forget the 30% - 40% extra
