As a point of reference, the body man that did my Chevelle...

- Removed damn near every bolt, screw, and fastener on the body (with pics to prove it)

- Put on new rear quarter panels (supplied by me)

- Straightened and polished a lot of stainless and aluminum trim

- Put the body back on with all new hardware (supplied by me)

- Spent weeks making every bit arrow-straight

- Applied a hand-finished base/clear coat paint job (he supplied all materials)

Overall, he had the car in one of his two bays for nearly a year. No part of the car hasn't been "touched" by either him or me. I got him started for $3,000 and my total bill was about $9,000. I couldn't be happier. Of course, I'll be happier when I finish the car!
