Careful who you give the job to. They need to have experience in working with fibreglass. Get references and check out their work.

A re spray cost is as open ended as how long is a string.
The finished cost depends a lot on the quality of the original body .
10k would be a basic average job.
20k plus should get a show quality finish.
30k would not surprise me for a quality job.

Have you looked into having the car wrapped. It looks great and can cost maybe a 1/3 of the price of a respray, just a thought . Ray

The late model rear vision mirror looks out of period , they appear to be low in relation to the original design. How effective are they.
