Expensive Metal Work!!
I just got new quarter skins, outer wheel well patches, and new rocker arms to be installed on my '67 camaro. I spoke to two seperate people and both of them quoted me around $4k to cut out the old and weld in the new patches. This is the first car I'm restoring and it's becoming a headache with a new baby in the house. Does that price seem steep to you guys or should I keep shopping around? I don't want to tackle the project myself in fear of making it look horrible. I'm just concerned cause I bought the car for 10 and have put 6k into the motor and front end. I still need probably 5k in wheels and tires, and all the other accessories inside the car plus paint and body work after this metal work. It feels like i'm gonna have 50k into the car when I could have bought a pretty clean one for about 30. Let me know what you guys think about the metal work and what you feel would be a fair price for it.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
