Whats a fair price to you? how much work does it need? A sand&spray or 100's of
hours of fixing rust&dents?

Good work isnt cheap and if it needs lots of work you can expect a large bill.

("Large" being realative to some people 25g aint sh#t)

Good luck though, Maybe if you can do some of the body work yourself
you could have more$ for a good paint job.

I painted this S10 a few years back, turned out good,,, I was building a 4x4 not a hot rod mind u...

I painted the inside/bottom of cab/bottom of hood inside of quarter panels ext,,,

Some pro autobody shop jobs ive seen havent done that and it stood out imo.

Notice how the entire thing is stripped(except a couple things I taped off)
Any good restoration is going to include a complete tear down to the frame IMO
And thats alot of work...

Definitely not anywhere in drayton. They don't do body work anymore just parts replacers
Heard good things about jacks in Alberta beach. Also Jerry car care in gainford is decent. The junky yard with all the cars is his place. Have also heard if a guy fritz I believe his name was somewhere on entwistle supposed to be really good and cheap
