Project Young Gun: 1969 Charger

hey man i got to thinking and you told me the estimate to do all the body work to your car was 15-25K. Other then the hood and quarters, what all is wrong with the car, my dad does body work for a living and i have helped him a lot and i know what he chargers to do stull and it just doesnt seem like it should be that high. Is that include having the car painted too?

Quarters, front floor pans, torsion bar crossmember, rear valance, rear crossmember, possibly trunk floor, drivers side rear frame rail. I got quoted from a guy here $16,000 ATLEAST for just labour for body and paint. I had a friend down in the States say he'd do body and paint on my car for $16,000 (in writing) for labour and all supply costs and everything. Too bad I wasn't closer.

Do you know the rate they are chargeing per hour? I know where i am at it is between 35-45, I live in a pretty low income area though. My dad mostly only does cars for some rich guy in florida. He brings all his cars up here because he says the rate down there is anywhere from 70-85 per hour. Also are you going to do the floors and trunk yourself?? that would help you save some money.
