a couple hours set up. 4 hrs pulltime, repair what is left on the quarters that the pull did not get. The rear panel might need a little repair . almost bet you could repair 2,700.00 at a real good shop

got a quote for 3000. but they put down hours for repair on the quarter panels instead of an item for replacing on the invoice. so that quote is off!

the estimate is probably dead on. Do not replace the quarters when the set up and pull is done most will be gone. metal work the rest. And yes I do this for a living and own my own shop. So no BS here. Its amazing you have a guy at a salvage yard who says , door has an hour damage and when we recieve , the door is a total. You have a guy who owns a car and it gets a couple of hours of damage and everyone wants to say its a total. Yes major body shops such as dealerships and lacal shops who have parts replacers not actual skilled body men will say its a total.
