OK. I got the engine rebuilt on my '67 289/302 and it is running great. I also had the MAGNA Performance Suspension, Steering and Spring & Handling Kits installed and the ride is much improved. I think that mechanically it is now pretty much where I want it to be. The next hurdle is appearance. It is a pretty car but it has a couple of small surface rust issues that need to be dealt with. Additionally, it has had some less than stellar body work done by a previous owner - front fender. It is not blatant but I know that the flaws are there. I want to get some of the body work taken care of and have the car painted with a clear coat. I do not want a show car although I want it to look nice - it is my daily driver. So, what is reasonable? What should I expect to pay for a professional job? Any thoughts? E.
