Well my father and I finally found our first "barn find", a '47 Merc Eight coupe, couple grand and $60 to have it towed home and its now ours. We currently have tranny fluid sitting in all 8 of the flathead's cylinders hoping to free it up. Interior looks great, all the chrome is there (and some extra parts), body has some rough spots, the worst being the rain gutters (guards), they're pretty much completely shot, barely hanging on and rusted through in a couple places. I'm a body man but Im feeling like this is out of my league, whats the correct way to go about replacing these. I gave a buddy a call and inquired for a rough idea on what he'd charge and he tossed a $1500 number to remove/delete the gutters and filling in what needs to be done to give a factory appearance, is this a fair number?
