Otherwise if he was just pulling and swaping old parts for new and someone else did the paint, then the $2k you plan to offer him sounds good. I paid my uncle $500 just to paint the front bumper, fenders and one door on my silver cougar even though he didn't ask for anything.
Nope, that is right. He is only charging me $10 an hour to do it. Like I said, he is an awesome guy. He says he only has about 50 hours in the car, which I think is bull. He is NOT doing the paint. I have another guy to do that. If you look back at the pictures, he stripped this car down to basically a rolling chasis, which he did not have to do. All I was expecting was him to fix what was wrong with it. He went above and beyond. He even pulled out all the interior and carpet to make sure the wiring was good. That is why I am giving him $1500 more than what he is expecting. He does this kind of work for a lot of the people in my Mustang Club. That is why I wasn't worried about him screwing me over, I was worried that something was wrong with the car.

Re: Mustang Rebuild........ Updated 05/19/2008
Ok, I went this past weekend and got new tires for the front two rims and an electric fan. I apparently got a radiator that is big enough to cool a turbo charged car, so I had to upgrade to a thin electric fan to make it fit. That is ok. I was going to do it down the road anyway.

Well I went to the guys house last night and dropped this stuff off. He told me my car will be done tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only other thing he has to do is the primer work on the front end. It will actually be able to be driven tonight. I am so excited!!!!!!

Thanks for the thought George.

I doubt it. This guy has an all original in mint condition 1993 GT and a 1992 Coupe which is also a show car.
