so my shop is telling me that im so close to the cost of doinga frame off restoration that i should consider that. the paint shop is quouting me $5k extra for putting the body on a rotisserie and powder coating the frame. i have to get the engine out and the body off the frame. i would have my mechanic take the engine and trans out and remove the body. im sure he will want another 20 hrs of labor at $80 per hour for that. lets figure an extra $10k between the mechanic and the paint shop and the extras im sure to add like brakelines etc.

what do you think, is it worth it? its right at that price point where im wondering if its really worth it... will i get an extra $10k for thw car if i sell it after ive done a frame off resto?
