If there’s any rust involved with this restoration, it will not be cheap. Even if this were a late sixties Mustang/Camaro, with the aftermarket replacement panels available, it still wouldn’t be cheap. If there is rust involved, this means all the replacement panels will have to be hand fabricated. And this is where it gets really expensive. And if you’re also thinking about restoring other areas of the vehicle such as the interior, that won’t be cheap either. No aftermarket parts.
So if this is what you’re faced with, and you’re going to farm it out for restoration, be prepared to open that wallet real W I D E.
