Thanks Keith, I don't mind disclosing the cost as she won't be for sale any time soon. I'm right at 30K and I did most of the work myself, I did farm out the body and paint for 8K as I wanted it perfect (and that was cheap for the job they did).
You are right....people don't realize how much work it takes to do a full off resto. I would guess if I had consigned this build out it would have cost about 40-45K or more.
Here is a shot of the engine bay....original 402.
