Mark speaks the truth! You'd be better off leaving to a bodyshop if you don't have experience.

I did mine myself the first time. Looked fookin mint..for about a week until it cracked what I thought was going to be a cheaper option ended up costing me a small fortune as I had to have a new one make by a pro in the end. That ones been smashed up now so I'm about to have my third semi-smooth boot made lol.

No I mean I know how to weld, I know that bit, I mean the smoothing and bodyfillering part of it, and how big of a size to weld it up and this kinda shibabble.

But how much do a bodyshop charge then?
If that seams the preffered option?

could weld it and get bodyshop to do filler work, your welding better be up to scratch though or they wont garantee their work
