DAMN that is steep....ifyou lived a little closer(up to 4 or 5 states away) i would do it for you for a lot less than that, but i think driving to texas will eat up too much money and time...
Yeah I was thinking the same I would definitley shop around for a bit before jumping into it...I know you can do better on a price than that though.

thank you sir. i learned something new today

To be honest with you gold94accord I think you should think about maybe a small road trip to get the work done. The price quoted is on the high end side and I know if you were to take a day trip and have a friend follow you out then the savings would be worth the effort.

When I was in Nebraska and building my 64 Bug I had to drive to Denver Colorado (600 or so miles) to get some head work done because everyone else was asking wayyyyy too much for the same work I got for half the cost. I had fun on the trip there and back as well as saving a grip of money (close to $175 and ended up with more parts I needed from looking around at a serious savings).
