Frame off in NC
Can anyone a frame off restorer in NC 252 area code (thats where I'm relocating) . I seem to find myself to busy with my commercial fishing trawler to ever get a chance to work on my 67. It took me 6 months to get the windshield replaced, the new one sat there for 6 months, I finally hired a guy to do it.
So I think I want to drop it off and send money and pick it up finished |

Re: Frame off in NC
You do realize that a frame off resto is VERY expensive...right?.....especially when your paying someone else to do the labor too......What kind of budget for the build are you allowing?

Yea...that might cover the labor...500 man hours x $50 per hour.....that could be done....now add in parts and the rebulding of everything, thats another $25k or more.
My buddy restores all kinds of different cars here in AZ and nobody gets out of his shop for less than about $60k......and usually its way more than that! RM

Re: Frame off in NC
What are your plans for your 67? What do you want it to be like when you pick it up?
