You see thats the trouble, I live in southern Saskatchewan and the people that I do find for example I had a 68 chevelle years back it needed quarters took it to the local body shop and the damn thing sat there for the whole year right where I parked it.And my buddy that did my 68 charger he is a bodyman but is more interested in sitting on the couch, he couldn't even do a air induction hood for my duramax.This one guy in the city told me 30,000 and I could have the body done last time I looked it cost that much to do the whole damn thing.I got all new interior for it and the motor and tranny are done too sitting in plastic wrap.

This is where most of us end up and the next thing to do is learn how to do it yourself.  Spend the money on a grinder and a welder and you can learn how to weld pretty easy.  Maybe get it all set up and have your body work friend come over for a beer and have him show you how to do it for an hour and then you can do it your self at your own pace. 

Or if you can get it to South Dakota this guy does good work.
