PS: they did the ex Tony Delorenzo black 68 or 69 L-88 about a year ago and I believe that bill was over $100K

NCRS restorations. I don't know if their doing C-3's anymore. They specialize in C-2's, I believe. They have been around since at least 1977, the first time I went there. Have $40,000 iin your pocket when you walk in there...it makes a good deposit...

Is 40,000 the going rate on a restoration ?

That, from what I hear, is the starting figure. Some rest-shops getting $60k... Please don't quote me....call them and ask them.

"What can you tell me about Nabers brothers in Texas"

If you have to ask, you can't afford them!

NO, it was the 68 or 69 L-88 that Curt Wetzel drove in Germany,under the black paint was a BLUE CAR and that came right from the Nabor brothers at Bloomington two years ago.

I think their cocky, they could barely find the time to chat with me at the NCRS Texas meet. Yes they do nice work, but I didn't care for those boys. My impression was they only want to deal with people who can afford to fly your own jet down to see them.
