I'm thinking about buying a straight six 65 coupe that is rust free and stripped and ready for restoration.

How much could I expect to pay for a quality restoration (myself doing most if not all of the work)? I'm not looking to have a show quality car, but something pretty nice that will turn some heads.

The engine is in pretty good shape, so I'm mostly talking about a complete interior redo, on exterior, needs bumpers, a few dents, maybe a front fender, and paint.

I'm just looking for a rough esitmate. Maybe if you've done a similar restoration you can tell me how much you spent.

Thanks!
Chris
