Floor Pan

[Dave Harms <civiltech@xxxxxxx>]

I am in need of replacing the driver side front floor pan on my car. I 
know I can get the floor pan for about $100. I stopped by a body shop 
Friday to get a quote on what it would cost to replace the pan and was 
shocked to get a cost of $500 for about 10 hours of work. Does this seem 
reasonable? Seems to me that the old junk could be cut out in less than 
an hour, prep car to receive new pan about an hour, cut new pan and weld 
in in about 3 hours. Total time=5 hours at $50/hr is $250 which seems 
more reasonable to me. I'm making the assumption that being as it's a 
body shop, they've got the latest in tools and technology to "get in and 
get out" of projects. Am I out of wack here? BTW, the car has no carpet 
in it, door panels are on it and seat can easily be removed.
