How Much Does it Cost to Restore a Muscle Car?
” This is a question that I get asked all of the time, it really has no definite answer. There are so many processes involved in the restoration of a car, people seem to think that it’s like a collision repair shop and we have insurance industry standards that help us estimate a restoration.This is not true at all. There is no standard that our industry uses to estimate a car,and it would be an impossible task to provide an estimate since we can’t possibly find all of the problems on the car without starting the work first. Yes, we can do visual inspection of the car, form underneath, form the top and from the interior, but the truth of the matter is that is represents about 15% of the job. While that may be an overstatement, most classic cars have rust problems that can’t be seen; problems that are hidden until we tear the car down. Also, in a lot of cases we run into old collision damage, and wiring that needs to be replaced. Therefore we can’t know the full extent of the restoration
