Interesting topic LT1 Burb! My sister and brother-in-law have owned a body shop since 1976 and will only do collision work these days. A very good friend of mine has a speciality shop that does antique and classic vehicles. It boils down to supply and demand, Everything cost more these days. I agree that 10K paint vs Patina or a rat finish might derail someone's restoration path too. I dont think that kids dont want to work anymore and I see alot of them getting into hot rodding. Restoring vintage vehicles is expensive these days!! p.s. this thread will probably get moved
