What do you guys pay for body work where you live?

Im lucky,i worked for a body shop for 3 years.
Learned the basics.
Now i do all my own work.

It all depends on how far you want to go ,and how smooth you want it to be.

This 70 fj6 340 swinger cost over 700.00 for materials alone.
Ppg concept single stage.

My 69 n96 rr is next.

I've considered doing it myself. But then the other side of the equation is me thinking I'll be doing it for a very very long time with 3 young kids and an over-crowded workshop/garage. I'll update this post once I get my second quote......

I'm not a bodyman and never could muster up the courage to do any type of body/paint work on my own but recently gave it a shot and stripped a pair of Dart Sport doors down to bare metal and prepped, primed, and painted and cleared the doors and they came out really nice. Total investment 2 weekends,about $450.00 in materials. and the opportunity to know I did it myself.
