Hello,

My borther in law has a shop, he does mainly newer cars and custom trucks. He is starting to do a few 60's era cars and as such is doing some restoration work. I was wondering what kind of rates they are charging in your area.

Thanks

I charge $75 per hour for metalwork, body & paint, I only specialize in hot rods, exotics and muscle cars- no daily collision work. Been doing it 25 years now too...

Im in the Boston MA area and thats pretty par for the course here for a rate.

thanks, that's the field i want to get into. He would prefer to do mini-trucks and newer cars.
