Yes I think you nailed it, the high cost of labor is taking all the fun out of the hobby.

In California it’s difficult to find a shop that is even willing to take on the body and paint work for a vintage car like this G. If you do find a shop, the labor rates run from $140 -$200/ hour, and you probably will not get any commitment as to how long it will take. Pay your money, take your chances. Chrome plating pretty much needs to be sent out of state. Interior work also $125 - $175/ hour, it all adds up.

Yes, it's getting ridiculous. This would have been an $85,000 car a few years ago.
