Sheet metal replacement question about pricing.

[Richio1]

Good luck... went throught the same thing on my 69.

Remember, the labor cost to remove and replace is one thing... the cost to do all the finish body work and prep for paint is another story / bill.

You need to shop around and get referals to reputable shops... One piece of advice - check references. Getting a great price is one thing... having your baby stuck in paint jail for a couple years is another.

Do your homework and everything will work out just fine. There are way to many stories on here of people who didnt and have regreted it. You dont want to be a member of that club.

Yeah just doing it all as the money comes in. I just need to get the sheet metal done so I can start on the rest of the car and to make sure everythings water tight. It blows me away how much paint prep and everthing cost, that will be a little later down the road.
