Passing on the information. My brothers own/operate a small body shop in Quebec Canada for 35 plus years now. For restorations I know they charge by the hour no down payments just weekly payments. Will have to check again, but I believe the shop rate is $48 an hour with materials. Prefer you bring your own new metal(if a whole skin is replaced). Only thing is they don't do "quickie" jobs. Will only do things the correct way.
For reference take a look at my 70 that they have re skinned.
