I have a 76 fj40 that needs the last foot of each end of the frame removed and new sections from Manafre welded on. I have a quote for $1,000 to do the work. It’s a mobile service. Sounds high to me. I have done all of the work to remove leaf springs and rear cross member. Any thoughts on what this should cost? All the welder has is his time. I purchased the material.
