Full Quarter & Lower patch Replacement Cost

To add some perspective, I just got quoted $3000-$3500 to put a full quarter on my 74 Dart sport, and I've already done 90% of the prep work. I almost **** my pants and quickly realized I will have to learn how to do it on my own.

Ive been following your progress, very inspiring. I think Ill let the pros replace the metal and work out the quarter dent, but the rest of it, I'm gonna tackle.

Epoxy, skim coat, 2k, block, etc then paint. I wanna be able to say I did it, even if, it's not perfect. I painted the bay already. I also have a gallon of SPI epoxy, just waiting. Lol.
