Your 25k resto price seems to fall in line with driver quality resto work which most can do at home.
I agree with this statement and I see nothing wrong with AMCR going after the people who don't have the means to DYI at home. With their $25K max I don't think people should expect a OE Gold winner....but maybe as you said, a nice clean driver.
Heck if three guys have already put 4 weeks into this 70 Cuda that adds up to 480hrs of labour and they're still not finished.
I'm certain the end product will be nice and speak for itself....We all need to just wait before we judge!
P.S. You should remove the rebound bumpers and get some primer/sealer under where the new ones will go.
Sorry guys, I didn't know that every word I mistyped would be critiqued. I should have known but I didn't.
It's been 4 weeks elapsed time. There is 160 man hours on the car in these photos with the body work done and there is no expectation of it being an OE Gold winner. It will be a great rotisserie resto at a great price. It's going to be well less than our max price as indicated above.
FYI, the rebound bumpers have already been removed, cleaned underneath and primered.
I don't see how any machine could be powerful enough, hot enough or whatever enough to remove 1/2 inch thick undercoating but somehow not remove inspection markings.
I see at one of the posts above, they recommend softening the undercoating with gasoline. Our regs are pretty minimal here in GA but using gasoline as a chemical solvent is one thing that we can't do. We don't screw around with the EPA here. The guy we bought the shop from had such heavy EPA fines that the government got all of the money from the sale.
