A reasonable estimate for this planned body work?
Yo! Hello all. Took a break from tgo. Now have money to get my rig fixed and looking pretty. Its a 91 z28 black vert.
Just wondering what I'm getting into.
I have removed the passenger fender, hood, front bumper and lower spoiler by myself in the garage. They were all damaged and needed full replacement.
Been sitting for a year like this. Otherwise driveable. I'm pooped out. Not able to find the mental stamina to get over the body work hump on my own. I want to take it to a shop and have new parts installed.
How much do u think it would cost to have this done? I can price the parts on my own. Just curious about the labor costs. Living in texas if that helps.

Re: A reasonable estimate for this planned body work?
labor rates are expensive, in a rural area where i live its 60 an hour.. being in texas im sure its close to 80..depending on how they treat "non-insurance" jobs. how cheap the body work was, also shows in quality in most cases
