Thank you, for all of the replies. I suppose I should plan on a 20,000 dollar budget. I do like the front disc brakes and dual master cyl suggestion. Its the cost of the paint job that always seems to get me. I have talked to Patricks and they are very helpful and nice. She indicated that she could not take on a full restore job at this time. She is helping me with the engine stuff. I have United Engine in my home town, and Jerry seems to have quite the experience on inline chevy six rebuilds etc.
Now who to use for the rest of the work, I have visited with Wagner's Classics in Bonner Springs,Ks, I one local shop to check out.
