Auto Restore...Serving the Classic, Antique and Custom Street Rod  community since 1969 For an estimate, please call or email me your phone number and I will get right back to you. I cannot give restoration estimates by email as there are too many details to consider. Thank you, Mike Janey Because there are many unknown or unforeseen repairs on any restoration project; (for example hidden rust beneath another metal structure), it is not possible to accurately forecast the cost of restoring a vehicle. The true cost is only revealed during the rebuilding process. It is for this reason that all of our restorations are done on a time/materials basis. Each project will hold its share of unique repair challenges. Although, a somewhat accurate estimate could be made if the vehicle was first fully disassembled; - stripped of all body parts, chrome, glass, suspension, interior, paints and undercoating, etc. etc., every piece inspected, and documented individually, for condition and originality in addition, after the removal of all paint coatings, old collision damage, body dents and body rust would need to be evaluated. Obviously this disassembly and analysis alone would not be an inexpensive venture--especially if the customer decides not to go forward with the project. For the above reasons, initial cost estimates are simply a best guess proposition. All restoration work is contracted on a Time & Materials basis. An advance deposit is required to start the project, and when that amount is used, further advance/retainers are required until the project is complete. Remember, the idea of an "inexpensive restoration" is just one of the many myths held by people not fully understanding the true meaning and scope of the word. Auto restoration is not for everyone. The vehicle owner must make a substantial financial commitment before deciding to restore.
