Thanks for the advice! That exactly what I did. Found a guy who has a passion for it and does it on the side. Kinda mutually beneficial, bought him a rotisserie to help out. And he’s super excited to do the next car in the line, 70 Roadrunner, 383 4 speed vitamin c
It’s ok, I honestly appreciate everyones opinions. It definitely puts perspective on the whole project. I am kinda curious tho as to what is wrong with a “skim coat”? As mentioned by someone above
Thank you everyone for the advice! My wife and I decided the 60k number was just too high. Going to do the work ourselves. Working on a 65 MGB right now to start learning the skills needed.
To answer some other questions. Was not his first car (1970 RR he wrapped around a tree… see picture)...
I picked up a 74 Challenger and was going to drop it off at a very reputable metalworks shop in Washington state. They said I was looking at 60k for the metalwork alone.
Is this a crazy figure? I was thinking 45k should be enough for body/paint, not metalwork alone.
The car is intended to be a...

Hello everyone,
Finally getting back to working on my project and one of the next things I need to tackle is the transmission. I believe it is a A904 (Slant Six car). I have heard they can be kinda tricky to rebuild.
I was looking for input on whether to send it to a shop or try it myself? And...
I sure do! I got a 62 4dr Dart and a 70 RR. However, both of those are on hold for restoration right now. And not to go too far to the dark side... I will be starting a frame off resto on a 68 GMC 3/4 ton here anytime.
Here are my cars, both unrestored. The 62 is stripped and with a metal guy...
Hello Everyone!
I have been working on my 62 Dart for a while (very slow progress) and right now the metal work is being done. I have the 225 Slant Six and the A727 trans pulled out (I believe both are original). The trans has never been touched and the engine was rebuilt in '03 by me and then...

Well.... Life gets busy and the progress on this car has slowed ALOT. However, been able to get back to it and got some more work knocked out on it and figured I would share with everyone.
First off, thanks to everyone who has provided pointers and tips, your advice has been...
Hello Everyone!
I am looking for a piece of chrome that goes on the front of the fender. It curves around the edge. I lost mine about 15 years ago before parking the car and havent come across another yet. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

This is amazing! Thank you all so much! I have indeed contacted Dr. Diff and will be ordering the seal kit. Going with the old "if its not broken dont fix it" mentality. I really appreciate all of your responses!

First off, I have learned so much from these forums, you all are amazing people putting in time and effort into all of your responses. I can not express my appreciation enough for how helpful these forums have been.
That being said, I am woefully new to rebuilding cars and this...
