body & paint quotes
i completely agree redfastback...my original quote was low fix the door for $700...then i asked about fixing three bondo sections and he was going to do it for $1000...then i asked how much to do the entire car...fix the door, remove some bondo, completely straighten the car that was going to be about $3800 but he was going to use as much of the existing paint as possible.
you could see how it quickly went from a simple door to the entire car...i just figured if i was going to spend the money, i may as well have it done right...go t the metal, etching primer, remove bondo, rust, and pick my own color!
here's a few pics of the car's progress...starting with the door
door/fender/door post repair in progress...mind you he was going to do all this and color match the paint for $700!
this is after i decided to go all out...
amazing what removing paint and bondo reveals...
