A 20oz. CO2 tank, 4 lbs. of gunpowder, and the detonaters out of a rocket engine kit...fixs anything

yeah....thats my problem though...i dont know what a fair price for that is......i was just curious if someone could give me a ball park.....like..... $25-50 bucks or $50-75 or $11,500-29,000....

u know....just so i can go there with some sort of idea what the going rate for welding a panel in is.....im sure they will tell me whatever their rate is, is the going rate....
Welding is the only way to do it and use profesional then it is done right. Always remember that small hole can end to THIS and then it will cost little bit more [:@]

Wow, it took me a little bit to even figure out what that was. But she'll be solid as a rock afterwards!

I need to do the same thing to my 68 fastback, but the rear quarter panels are not available. How do you do such a job?

Come on guys, give this poor dude a break. I would say it will cost you someplace between $300 - $400 to get it fix with new panel. That's without painting....
