re: #416 Blind Frog Belly White
I’ve always wondered how much one of those professional ‘Frame Off’ restorations cost. There’s a show on Velocity that does nothing but old Chrysler Corp. muscle cars, even from rusty hulks, restoring them to factory spec - or what factory spec would have been if everyone in the factory had been obsessed with doing the best possible job (hint - they weren’t).
I learned the average high-quality ‘Frame Off’ resto runs about $50,000.
The beauty of car restorations these days is parts availability. You be surprised at the quality of the parts, many made better and of better materials than the originals thanks to CNC machines and other newer processes.
And if it is a real popular classic, you can almost build a new one from the ground up in new parts.
People like these restoration parts companies…one for some American cars and one for restoring British sports cars.
