Bruce...just to give you an idea of cost, here's a restoration shop in
Canada (never used them). Their rates for restoration work are
$75/hour. Probably at least 5 hours in woodwork on your body
and they rate refinish at $500-700. So, I would expect a pro restoration job on your body will cost you an easy grand. It looks like
you have mostly everything else you need. To dress your frets and
uff-up your neck, maybe another $100. It's only because '66 Fenders
are one of the most sought-after collectible years (other than the real old stuff), that you might want to consider letting a pro have at it. But, in the end, it's up to you.
