    I'd do it for three grand, but my neighbor kid will do it for three hundred. Take your pick.

    I'd estimate 60-80 hours depending on condition of the car and how far you'd wanna take the metal finishing

  4. I would say to call around and see what there is to offer in your area. I wouldn't think that you would get it done any cheaper than what @alchemy mentioned probably pay a lot more for it.
     
  5. I'll do it for $487.93

    Twelve years ago I got a price on chopping my 47 Chevy 2 dr sedan, just to get it in primer for $2500.00. Prices may vary.

    For $50 a month, I'll drop over to Alchemy's shop and tell him he's working too slow. It still won't get it done in under a year, but it saves you the headache you'll probably get with any shop you send it to.
