Here's a question for the list: how many hours were put in to the
restoration of your car? Not the money but the hours. I phrase it that way
because some people do their own work, some have all done, and others chose
a hybrid. All are different costs and force different focus.
I know the time it takes is all dependent on the condition of the car to
begin with, so if you could give a rating (1-5) of your car to begin with
that would put it in to perspective.
Let's say:
#5 "Rough". Needs total restoration.
#4 "Fair". Daily drivers.
#3 "Good". Good Driver, nice "10 footer"
#2 "Excellent". Could win a local or regional show.
#1 "Concourse". No further explanation needed.
Let me start - my 67 4A was a "5" and I estimate I put in about 1500 hours
to bring it to a "2".
Yeah, I'm a data junkie, but if I get enough data points I can determine a
guideline and average. Maybe worth while to all of us!
