    i went to a local auto body shop and asked for a price on a shaved trunk key hole and antenna delete for the rear. he said like 800 for that and like a couple grand to fix my rockers... what do you think would be a fair price?

    Does that include paint??

    as for the deletes - It should not take more than 1 1/2 hours each, so thats 3 hours - so even at 3 hours at $100/hour - dont know where $800 comes from.

    And the rockers will take longer - im doing my rockers myself - they wanted $500 per side - without buying the rockers themself.

    I got my rockers for under $120. and will install when i have time.
    Im not welding my rockers in, im using Cold Weld(Permatex) for the top and steel rivets for the bottom, once i cut 80% of the old ones out.

    Just curious.... why are you willing to spend that much on these cars when you can find another for maybe a little more?

    Mine was rather cheap, and used cars around here are either expensive or crap, and by test driving this one the motor need some work, but others need way more rust removal and tripple the price.

    I also got new tires with the car.

    well if someone asked me to shave their keyhole and antenna hole iwould probobly charge 600ish dollars for the fact that those are two big body panels.

    the rockers would be around 900 to 1000$ for both sides painted. the rockers are a semi structual part of the shell and if you do it wrong your car will sag and have problems. a couple of places sells the rockers..look around
