Does anyone know how much a qualified panelbeater/ spraypainter's hourly rates are for restorations?

It varies depending on the shop & weather they charge a "true" hourly rate or a "unit" time. Expect to pay $80.00 to $100.00 per real hour for anything decent.

Isnt your car already being restored?

Yes it is, I just need to able to explain to a prospective buyer why it cost me an arm and a leg and 8 pints of blood to restore, but i guess it'll be on the invoice anyway :smile02:

No one wants to pay full whack for a top paint job, but everyone wants to stare at a great job and criticise an average one that may not have cost that much less.

I'd rather spend the money and be happy to stare!:cool:

Agree with Bee unfortunately one does not always guanantee the other.
Nice red car you got I think I can guess the year it was built. Have you got sequential for the tail lights?? I got them but not legal in SA on a GT CS ok on cars they came from the factory with
O 427 left Roush yesterday.

Thanks Cage, great to finally catch up with both Steve and your good self.

Brumby1, sequentials aren't legal here either, but I have just purchased them.

Great news about the engine, you will never look back! Best wishes with setting up the car.
