| I think just in metal we were around $350. One sheet of 1/4 plate is $250 or so here. Not sure what you can get it for elsewhere. Then add in for other pcs of misc. sheet or flat stock. Welding lead runs about 40bucks per roll. Gonna need two as one will run out. Grinding wheels are only 5-10 per, gonna need at least 4. Gas for the welder, in case you forgot to check the old tank first. Bedliner material is only 50bucks at autoparts house, but another 20 for the roller kit. Bondo, primer, sander and papers. It adds up quick.
Then you have to know what you are doing. Can't just toss it on. More power to you if you can get it done for less, but I don't see it happening.
