[Chevelle-list] Re Quarter Panel installation Cost

[Mike Holleman]

That was the point of my post. It is expensive to get good metal work done. 
That two hundred hours covered all the metal from the back of the roof to 
the bumper. I had to remake the piece above the rearend and the piece that 
goes under the rear panel. Usually if a car needs quarters and trunk pans 
there will be several more pieces involved. Plus this is a two man job. If 
Goodmark can do a quarter install for 750.00 that's where I would go. From 
my experience a trunk floor install will take every bit of 50 hours if done 
right.
