question for autobody guys?

i have 2 questions.

1- can any autobody shop replace the floor pans? also how much estimated wound this cost to be done if like everything was taken out of the car like the carpet in the front for them to fix it? and how much estimated would it cost to buy the floor pans and then get them to put them in?

2- can an autobody shop put in the tubbed wheel wells? so i could put bigger tires in. and how much would that cost ruffly? but if a autobody shop couldnt do this how hard is it to put the tubbs in?

anyone help thanx

Sorry, not to be harsh about this:

I have no idea why everyone wants to ask questions like how much would it be for a bodyshop to do such and such.

lemme tell you straight, go to a bodyshop and ask. Its the only way. if you get told $1000 on this board, and you go only to find out that it is actually $5000, you will be really pissed.

Sometimes there is no shortcut.

My dad does autobody and he installs floor pans and wheel well tubs. It is pretty costly cause you have to strip the whole interior and cut and weld. I don't know the price and that would be different all over whereever you go.

okay here it is just for the aftermaket floor pan you will pay 209 for each side tubs will not be nessacary . you can run in the 10,s without them If you have a rust problem might be better to find a wrecked car and switch parts obever or have someone make patch pannles if it is not to bad

hey i want to get my floor pans done becuz the front of the drivers side proabably has biger than 5x5 hole in there and its just gettin worse and i have a decent size hole behind the drive seat and i decent hole on the passenger side behind the seat and i want to get them dun so when it rains or snows it doesnt get in and also the exuast fumes dont come in from there. also i want to tub out the wheel wells becuz i want to fit maybe bigger than 10.5 in slicks under there and since my car is 20 years old and if i take the hammer to it i think ill really screw up the wheel wells. thats y.
