That's about right for what's shown in the pictures, basically body off the frame. In California you are looking at $1,500 for an entire car, body, frame, etc all of it.
ditto, I also hear shop guys say don't media blast the sheet metal as it will warp it and the tiny particles will get everywhere and you'll never get them all out (their words not mine), of course the blasters won't tell you that, their reply is well you gotta know what you're doing, getting your frame blasted is ok
When I talked to a company that does media blasting they said the sheet metal had some sort of treatment from the factory so that it won't flash rust, unless you grind that coat off with a angle grinder or something to where it's raw, and the media does not expose it to that rawness (that probably depends on what media is used, sand, walnut shells, etc I don't recall what those guys were using some sort of secret blend I'm sure). Also if you use air craft stripper then your car can sit stripped for months, and it won't rust.
