[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1662080, member: 3099"] I looked at the before pics and I just don't see 20K considering that you already had the engine, trans, interior, etc. That car looked like a great "builder". I've seen many that were far, far, far worse and those would cost 20K+. That said you are only 5% over your budget. That would've been pretty good had they not taken you "for a ride" on the body/paint work in the first place. Like I said before, provided they did actually do good body work, I don't see finishing the paint costing near what it sounds like you are thinking it might. I just hope the work done is as good as you state, because to a novice a bondo'd repair always looks good before you lay the paint on it. Go load that rod up and get it to someone honest. [/QUOTE]
