    Depends on what the $50,000 needs to cover.

    If you can do a lot of the work then you can save labor costs and it is quite rewarding working on your own Dino.

    thanks to your threads, everything!!!! :) the bar has been raised!
    I have a handle on most costs, but cost of paint is a mystery to me. I can see the quality but 400 hours, is beyond my comprehension, was that just on paint or on sorting the body as well?
    I would not allow myself to touch that car for fear of leaving a finger print let alone a stone chip!
    So how much of that budget should go to paint....starting with, for the purposes of this discussion, with a straight body?

    Agreed, I do all that stuff.
    Except body and paint, can't do that , and the things I can't do for myself have me perplexed. when anybody hears the words Dino, they quote prices that sound like telephone numbers. Which irks me because it is such a simple car, very basic.

    You can great a great paint job for $30,000 assuming minimal metal work.

    I have 2,000+ hours in my L series, up and to the paint.

    Just getting the transaxle right took over 200 hours, repairing all the goofs from previous cretins that left parts out of it and ran it that way, and it's still not ready. Locating the bearings in Italy was another great one.

    Of course, my L required rebuilding/remanufacturing the whole car, or almost. The only part unmolested was the roof, and even at that it was missing the interior light housing.

    All that I need to do now, is to reassemble it :)

    There are paint jobs on other incredibly intricate cars, that have run into the high 100's just for painting, in the USA of course...

    Regards, Alberto

    The first day of reassembly! This time I'm putting more parts on before the fiberglass tub and inner fenders, as I think there will be easier access without having to lean on the car body. I also had Brad leave the doors off to hang at a later time. This is the most satisfying part of the job as it all comes together totally clean, one part at a time.

    Jon, do you recommend putting a car once painted, back on the rotisserie for reassembly? Clearly, you favor this, so possibly a no-brainer.

    Does it make life that much simpler?

    Great looking progress!

    Regards, Alberto

    Really only need the rotisserie for the floor pan, pretty much everything can be done on a lift. Lift is tied up for a few days so doing a little more on the rotisserie.

    So that is what a belly pan is supposed to look like. I blew off the one on my old 02984 at 135 mph in West Texas in 1977.

    Jon, she looks impeccable. You are really getting good, and fast, at this. Probably even faster if your son were there to help.

    Hey Jon, any idea what the bare chassis and body weigh naked after painted? Wonderful work there, truly top notch. Always impressed coming to these threads

    Are you taking reservations that far out? I need to get on the books at some point.
