You did some excellent body work in advance of sending it to the shop and that has to have saved you a ton of money. Could you imagine if a shop had to charge you by the hour to do all of your mods?
Just wondering as I am still hoping to have most if not all of the main body work completed on mine in advance.
Thanks and I understand if you don't want to say. Just ball park it!

The total is not really finalized yet right now. Yes i did most of the metal work that i could do myself but after having the truck looked at by a few body shop they all estimated that there would be still an other 100 hrs of labor to get it ready for paint. Shops around here charge between 45 and 90 bucks an hour, I'll let you guest which one i picked. Most of the larger shop around here won't even do job like this they rather do insurance claims, they get paid much better that way.
I also decided to get new box sides from Mar-K.com, I can buy two new sides for less then the labor cost to bring mine ready for paint.
