sounds about right then.

His estimate was $6K... 100 hours of body work at $50 hours is $5K.

So basically, his expertise says that 100 hours and $1000 of parts (including total rear end + paint) gets this done.

Keep in mind this includes suspension work and replacing an entire steering column too.

Hell of a bargain for $1K!


Quite a guru, I'll tell you..

Where did you show us where it added up to $13k?

Your other thread you stated this,

by the time the work is actually completed, it will probably jump up to $15K. I could see that happening.
fuck the world, lol.

Curious, when did it change from $9k to $13k?

Edit, also that's not "showing us the math" when you just type a number. @ftc~brz "showed us the math"
