Curious, why did the new owner want to put so much work into this car? I imagine the job you did was VEERRRRRYYYYY expensive

You just added at least $3000 to the value of that car. I hope you made at least a grand... GREAT work.

At 91 hours. I hope he made at least $3,000.00.....at very least.

You can never get that value back 100%, that is a labor of love.

A paintless dent guy for the top of that rear quarter may be a good idea as well.

I'm not sure how much he charged for this job as he was looking for a challenge. I know he will be doing a basic job for my car once I bring it home before a photoshoot. He's a great guy with an extraordinary talent which I felt deserved to be showcased here as he's not a member here, but on a local forum.
