Appreciate the responses guys - things you learn - the price sounds not so bad after all - especially if it's done right.

We're in Brisbane (northside) so will get proper written quotes etc - the cars in very good condition, only a couple of small rust spots that I'm aware of.

Will let you know how we go.

Hi guys

We have 1959 Holden FC that's in the need of a repaint.

We've got two (2) quotes and they are $5,000 and $7,000 for a repaint.  

Seems excessive?? Can anyone else help?

Contact on ghow4648@bigpond.net.au or post to this forum.

Thanks

Thanks Terry

I'm no way mechanical and the mechanic doesn't have the tools and doesn't seem keen to get them for a one off job - fair enough!

I tried Rare Spares and they say they have a unit, or will, but the guy never calls back. I'll try again unless someone else here is able to help out?

Howler

We have a 1959 FC which we're trying to get back on the road - everything passed the Queensland Safety Cert test, with the exception of the LHF king pin.

We were able to get a king ping kit, but unfortunately our mechanic hasn't got the right tools to assemble it - so we're a bit stuck.

He wants either a complete king pin assembly, or we need someone to assemble it it ready to be installed.

Can anyone help?
