Sheet metal replacement question about pricing. - Lateral-g Forums

jcal87 · #1 04-10-2011, 12:59 AM

I want to know what I would be looking at cost wise to replace all sheet metal around the cab of my car. For example... ( roof, A pillars, trunk pan, quarter panels). Every time I ask a shop it seems I can never get a straight answer. I would atleast like to get an around about answer so I know how much I am going to need to save.

depends on your location, quality of work, etc. Sorry stop in and ask a local shop what their shop rate is and then look at the quality of work. I went with a guy that is $10 more per hr bc his work is amazing

I live in college station, TX so there's not a whole lot of shops in the area. In order for me to take a car somewhere for an estimate would be a huge pain.if anyone has done simliar work and wouldn't mind giving me an idea of what it cost them that would be awesome.

I would ask forum sponser Mike @ Musclerodz. He not too far and is as reputable as they get here...

I just gave a guy a quote for new full 1/4's,full floor pan,trunk pan,outer wheel well's on a 1969 camaro.The total labor bill was $2,500.00(customer to supply parts).Roof and A pillar's might add about $1,000.00 to the mix. This should give you some kind idea.

hey man, I'm in the same boat as you. I did find two shops that specialize in camaros in the area that might be able to help:

The first one in Dallas advised me that it would be about 6 months before they take on customer cars:

Camaro concepts in Houston advsied they could do all the sheetmetal, but they don't paint:

Let me know how you end up making out, I still haven't decided on a shop.

Just recently purchased all the metal from Elitecustombody! Got a great deal and the shipping was super fast now all I have to do is get it all installed.
