Do you think the hours needed to do the job would be that much if the floors and stuff were already cut out? Does this make the job easier and less time consuming since a lot of stuff is out of the way?

it would make it easier to some degree, floors or not the frame still has to be sectioned , which is the hardest part.

cutting out tubs and fitting them is no big deal but you need a outer wheel house in there to mate it up properly

Hey guy's,

its not really the money factor as much as what we (me and shop manager) discussed it would cost.

I had told him that i was just thinking it would cost 'round the same amount as it did in my 67 coupe...(+ - 500$) and he said yes....So when i showed up and had a bill for 4300$ well, you should understand my surprise!

Anyway, we agreed and all is well! I understand he has to pay his guy's as i have a business too, it just should have been crystal clear between us at the beginning. You know, at that price i might have taken time to do it myselg and bought a new welder!
(They did install the SFC and alum bushings tough)

Interesting to read others experience in this matter too!

Lead.

Hey, while i think about it... Happy Holydays to all!
