What is the price range for a good body restoration on a 1966 Mustang Coupe?
What will the price range be if I restored my 1966 mustang Coupe Shell? The car is a complete shell with old paint on it. I have no Idea on how much it would cost if they stripped my car to bare metal and the painted it raven black or viper blue. My car is 95% rust free and I need a idea on how much it would cost. Thanks for everybody that helped me out
There are A LOT of variables here and it will all depend on what is under the current paint. A huge chunk of change will be body work so it will depend on how straight the body is under the current paint job. It may look straight but there could be bondo under the paint that makes it look straighter than it really is. Also, does any sheet metal need to be replaced due to rust? If so that will add up quickly. Raven black is a great color but for someone to paint your 66 that color it will cost considerably more than a lighter color. The body work on a black car has to be PERFECT for it to look right (you can see any little dent or ripple in black cars). So if you decide to stick with black, plan on extra $ for perfect body work. To bounce a number off of you and attempt to answer your question: My 65 had 2 dents and a few very small holes to be filled and pretty much zero rust, I had stripped a good part of the car to the metal and then shot it with etching primer…..the price for the body work, white paint with blue stripes, and to shoot spray in bedliner in the entire inside of the car was $4460. Again, this is with VERY little body work needed.
The end result is that you can get your car painted for $1000 or you can get your car painted for $10,000 and anywhere in between, it just depends on what you want out of it.
