With typical bodyshop rates being more like $80-$100 no wonder you're ok with paying half price!

I'm ambivalent about this, literally. On the one hand I'm amazed at the straight cuts and rejoining. On the other I've already owned a crapload of rusty trucks when I was young. I'm ready for paint! Nice work though.
