I've been doing some planning for my '69 GMC project. Went to the body shop last night for an estimate. He told me that he'd charge around $4000 CDN (subtract 20% for US$) for a simple paint job including molding removal and basic rust repair. He estimated $7000-8000 for what he called "frame-off" - basically panel removal and paing.
Is this a good price? Are body shops typically this ambiguous about prices? I'm nervous about bringing him the vehicle with this kind of a blank cheque approach.
