I've been working on it for about 5-6 weeks now, not full time as we have other projects in the shop that I also spend time on. As far as cost, we go by the hour and are currently at $60/hour but may have to go up after this job to cover overhead better. The patterns were paper and aren't very durable, I was only planning on saving them to use on the passenger side. I would need to finish this project before taking in more work, probably 18+ months before I'd be able to start anybody else project. We try to keep it to only two projects at a time so we don't get backed up too far.

It was a tan/sand color. The owner is planning on painting it a dark burgundy/purple metalic. The color is Dark Rosewood Pearl from a mid 90's Jeep/Chrysler.

First, I must say your work is fabulous. What I think many of us sitting in front of our computers want to know is how much time is this taking, some idea of cost, and are you saving the patterns for those of us who also need replacement metal could contact you for help?

Nice work, and the owner should be congratulated for bringing back this car.
Can't tell by the pictures, but was this car white or cream originally? I was looking at the picture of the top of the cowl.
