how much for frame/trunk/floor replacement at a shop

This reminds me of working at my friends restoration shop years ago, customers just couldnt comprehend that their 1500. car needed 5000. worth of work to look like the car on the calender hanging behind his desk. i myself have paid close to 500. just to have the frame around the rear spring shackles replaced on my challenger, and that was back in 1991. good luck to you as some people just cant understand no matter how well it is explained to them as to the amount of work involved. i would suggest to the guy to get a couple estimates from other places if he feels the price is unfair.
