I have been in your shoes before. No good answer from my point of view. You will have way more into it than it its worth. I think you will have a tough time getting it done that quick. I have done restorations and prices varied from 20 an hour down to 5 or 6. The low end one was a lot more work than I anticipated and it was going on a ball park price.
The 20 an hour job came out around 6000, but that included 90% of the parts for a Deere b. However, I only showed the owner how to do it. He actually did a lot of the grunt work himself.
Guess I am saying watch how you do it and be prepared to eat time spent doing things over and over to get them right. I would say I can do it for X dollars, or X dollars per hour. Be up front about the costs- parts by owner, shop supplies by you, paint by ??? I would go with progress payments as you don't want him to get half way through and decide it is to expensive and think your total to date is to high. Be prepared to make less than 12 an hour. Good luck. Great learning experience and the next one will be easier.
