Firebird Project

how much should I expect to spend on classic car interior restoration?

I currently have a 1968 Pontiac Firebird in the process of being restored on the exterior. I am looking to restored its interior as well (new seat covers, carpeting, door panels, dash), would anyone know how much est. this project would run? And about how much would a really impressive paint job for the exterior run for?

Alex---we just did a Firebird---soup to nuts interior was 2500. the paint is depending on what you want--a straight Pontiac color or a custom blended paint job with some special touches. I always liked a restored to original car---original replacement interior and a Pontiac silver---the only thing different---all the name badges are off----nothing but paint. Rust was cut out and metal was welded in--undercoated for the paint to be shot on--2500 for the interior--7500 for the outside work and paint----the 400 motor was a 3500 dollar replacement crate motor---the trans was rebuilt---so it was 12,000 to finish. That is 4 times what the car was originally purchased for--but I like it and it is done---looks really nice. Brakes and springs are next---original honey comb wheels and new tires after that. Probably another 3000.
