Default Estimate for BodyWork - 69 Camaro

I am just getting some estimates and have no idea if this is a fair cost. Can someone please review this and comment?
Thanks I really appreciate it!

Supplies needed:
etch primer fiberglass rust treatment
reducer body filler seam sealer
body filler, primer, and hardener welding gas and wire fiberglass
sandpaper cutting/griding wheels
Total for supplies= $1000

Estimated cost without mini tub kit
Remove old quarters and install new quarter panels, both sides
$1600
Patch panels on both front fenders, and take out dents
$700
Rust repair on both doors, sand down and take out dents
$600
Cut out existing rust and patches, and install new floor sections
$800
Fix rust on roof and delete metal nubs
$500
Patch passenger side rocker
$200
Patch spot on driver’s side toe pan
$150
Patch rear shock tower
$150
Total, including all dent removal
$4700
Total with supplies
$5700

I will be somewhere around $2000 additional to install the mini tub kit if you choose that route

There were two additional options:
Epoxy primer the car
$600
Clean off undercarriage and apply undercoating where applicable
$300

I would be double check with them on how they are doing the rust repairs. I noticed they had fiberglass mat on the supply list so are the cutting the rust out and patching it with fiberglass? You want your patches done in metal so you don't have more problems down the road. Just my .02

You supplying the panels or is that included in your cost for replacement?

I had most of that work done a couple years ago here in Texas. I can probably find my quote.

That seems about right then. Think i had close to 7k in metal work w/ minitub and not including panels. Very similar work to what you had done.

quarter replacement time sounds light. For the cost of rust repair I would replace the roof skin. you can buy good used oem fenders and doors cheaper than your repair estimates. Furthermore, there should be no fiberglass in any estimate for fixing a camaro, its not a corvette. I would seek another shop to do the work if they plan to fiberglass anything.
