About $800 installed, blocked and ready for paint.

Yes, a full quarter will cost you close to twice that.

actually, theres more mudwork and blocking in a "skin" than in a true quarter... in a quarter, there is basically just the sail panel, in a skin, you have the entire peak of the quarter, from one end to the other.

Well, you can do it right once or wrong several times. Usually doing it right the first time costs the most up front, but the least in the long run.

(See the last two lines in my sig. )

Plus repop metal is nothing like original metal.

Larry's absolutely correct. Good bodywork costs $$$.

Depends on what part of the country you're in as well. I got a quote of $800 for full quarters installed, blocked and primed ready for paint, I supply the quarters. The guy I got the quote from does immaculate work and works from a shop in his backyard. He does restored cars and he doesn't get into a hurry. I've seen him work on cars so old they had wood frames!!! He's the guy that will be painting my '63 Fairlane and possibly my '65 coupe (but I'm thinking of doing the quarters and paint myself on it.)
