Yup that's for all of it. Most shops will bump the prices a bit to make more per hour.

Well I got it on the road. It's not completely done buts it's drivable. It runs good and goes down the road straight as an arrow and smooth as butter. It's not a show car or spotless and perfect,but that was never my intention. I'm not done with it yet and I will update this thread more as I go.

Nice work. Nice Z. It's good to see one brought back from the dead.

The only fresh paint is actually the hood, bumpers and right rear quarter. The rest is factory paint just buffed and polished back to where it should be. But thanks!

Also thanks to the other guys! I enjoy doing this kind of stuff and while i understand some people will turn their nose up at the car, it does exactly what i want it to do so I'm happy with it.
