I'm not too well clued up on US restorations, most of mine have been UK cars but, as a word of warning - even if the car checked out ok mechanically and the you could get a reasonable paint job priced up, the biggest headaches tend to be the unseen areas.
For example, like when they remove the windscreen for spraying and find the bulkhead all rotted out lol. Or sourcing parts like the proper clips to hold in the chrome, chrome replacements and rubber seals/grommets etc. That stuff can get very pricey and before taking on a project I would seriously advise you check availablility and prices on some of those items....they seem insignificant but it would be sad to be left with a project that you cant finish due to prohibitive cost or non-available parts.
