To do it right is quite expensive. If Billy Bob says he can weld on a new top and floor for $100 and a case of beer - RUN!

I purchased all parts & left them when I dropped her off at the shop. I really just need a ballpark on hours required to deliver her to me road ready. Tendency to complete other jobs that acquired after me. Great guy used 10 yrs. But if allowed will shun me. I should be making a sandwich for someone if you understand that statement. A ballpark of hours of labor will supply me with all I need to be behind the wheel again. I have played this mental game of his before and its a small price to pay because his work is phenominal. Thank you for the replies & in advance for any others TCooke
