Reply To: Cost of top and interior

Thanks so much, David.

I do think that Ed was referring to Pebble Beach quality which might get you into the $50,000+ range. Most of us are not interested in that kind of work but want a correct, good looking job with good workmanship, which is what you and other independents like you can provide.

My understanding from you and from other restoration professionals was you should allow $20,000 for a big sedan or touring. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less, but either way, that’s sort of where you should plan.
