(Update) 67 SS RS
 
Well, got some sorta expected bad news. My dad had a body guy do a quote for his '67. The grand total to get it into paint is $18,500 :eek: . OUCH. That doesn't include interior or motor. :banghead: . I'll post some pics of it currently and you guys let me know if $18,500 is necessary. For a comparison $3-4k for sheet metal.

18 grand, might as well buy a restored 67 camaro...

blue89vert 12-22-2006 09:01 PM

bah buying a restored car is no fun. blood sweat and tears it what makes it all worth it in the end and you can get it the way you want it. thats why i said do it yourself.

paarman97maro 12-23-2006 12:55 AM

I think Id do it myself instead of taking it in the pooper.

wow that's nuts...like the camaro but glad we started with a better car with the malibu. it has totally been worth it and the project total is going to be like $7000

There is a great deal of sentimental value in this car since my dad has owned it since he was in the 11th grade. It sat for about 20 years and he now decided it is time to fix it up finally.

Personally I would love to fix it all ourselves but neither me or my dad know much about body work and paint. We will do the interior, motor, suspension, rear end and what not. Thankfully the car had a beautiful muncie 4 speed :D .

that price sounds about right to me. Might wanna check around. If theres another shop by you im sure you could get some money off if you do the whole, "well this shop told me so and so price" . Lotta labor needs to go into that car.

ITSA6 12-27-2006 10:54 PM

well or you could like try to buy all the parts and then have them piece it all together....if that would work?

korndogg 12-27-2006 11:36 PM

its still gonna cost a bunch...the parts arent whats killing him...its gonna be the labor.

Indeed. There is alot of knowhow, sweat, and time involved. I've had a 69 rs ss shell sitting behind my parents house for about 5 years now lol.
