As most have seen in the restoration process, but in case someone missed it..... MOST (almost all) of the new nuts, bolts, washers, screws, fender flare brackets, etc.... were all replaced with "stainless steel" no more rust

Honestly I don't know.
It would depend allot on the condition of the car, how much work / prep it needs and the quality of work that the shop does.
