Around 300 bucks is about right. Good thing is, it's all basic mechanical tools that do a lot of other stuff. And it includes the specialized tool, e.g. for the carbs and the prop shafts. The same tools are needed for the mechanical repairs on modern cars as well, so.
Some power tools help, again those do other things as well.
If you cannot do most of the repairs on an old car yourself, they are unaffordable. Garages, if you one willing to work on them, charge around 100 bucks per hour where I live.
My problem is, despite being an industrial engineer, I seem to have a blind spot for electrics and electronics. Mechanics are much easier. The main reason I will never switch to eletronic fuel injection, I can rebuild the carbs in the desert and can calibrate them. EFi goes over my horizon so.
