Oh it probably is totaled. Im not even writing a estimate on it. Just fixing it. I've done a lot of work for this guy like this.. He likes to keep his vehicles.
 
[QUOTE='68 Coronet R/T;4264]Wow, hard to believe the glass all appears unbroken. So what's the story?[/QUOTE]


I'm not sure what happened, i think he went in a ditch. I don't ask as many questions as I use to ask.. lol. When I managed a collision shop, I heard so many collision stories i don't feel much need to ask anymore. lol.
 
These are the jobs I should say no to, but it's hard to turn down guaranteed work.
I think i'm going to call in some help for it though, I need to be focusing on the resto's and the store.
 
No.. thankfully.. lol

I did have one when i was big with collision but i sold it to a guy a few miles down the steet.. I'll just make him do it.. :)

Not worth the hassle to me anymore.

Granted if i did have it, it would make a nice chassis table.. lol..
In all honesty i would have kept it if I had more room. but I sold it cheap to him with the terms that I can either use it or he can do my pulling at a fair rate. It does work out better this way.
 
Lol.. I would if i knew.. I didn't track my time on it. I was going to do it by time and materials but I didn't track it as well as I have the resto's.
But honestly it really wasn't that bad at all. Bed side was only welded across the bottom, front was bolt on. roof was the most time consuming because all of the interior and glass had to come out.

Frame was not nearly as bad as it would appear from the axle, the leaf springs took most of the hit, the rail was only 1" up in the rear. After all the work we took it in for the alignment, and they said it didn't need the alignment so everything was right on.. Other than that it was just a basic body/paint job.

Worse part to this project was the overall cost of the parts. Toyota parts have definitely gotten out of hand.

lol they all have!! i just bought a tailight for a 2006 rx-8, $260 OEM. just my luck, there isn't a single used one anywhere near. i'm sure not the highest out there, but the highest i've ever paid for a dang tailight.

nice job on the truck!!
