I thought the full floor was actually pretty easy. Overall, it took me about 16-20 hours including removing the existing one and prepping the rockers and painting them. The trunk pan took quite a bit longer for me because it was the first piece of metal I ever changed. One word of caution. DO NOT ORDER A 68 FULL TRUNK!!!!! Ask me how I know. It's stamped about 1/2" too short. If you're mini tubbing the car, just buy a 67 pan and you'll be fine. Even if you're not mini tubbing the car, still order the 67 pan and modify the driver side shock tower.

The quarter price sounds about right. There are a few areas on these repro quarter that need some attention. I can explain them to you and show you pictures if you need. You should still have my number. Call me if want. If not, PM me and I'll email you my number again.

I would go for it. Floors and trunk are very easy and this was the first thing I started learning on. There is some time involved like mentioned, but if you are halfway decent with a mig, I would give it a shot. Maybe if you feel comfortable enough after the floors and trunk you can tackle the quarters.

One thing I had to get past at the beginning was having to trim and cut up the brand new pieces, they all need work to fit just right.
