Default Time For A Chop?

Alright, well with my new project to build a bumper, i decided im going to chop the back off and have a mj back added into the xj to close it off. But im not that good. My question is. What is a ball park range cost for this if i take it to a shop? i want it to look like this one!!!

with time invested, anything is within your ability. For something like that I wouldn't take it to a shop. I'd do it myself and just take my time to do it the right way

...the only way to get experience doing stuff like that is by just doing it. FrankZ and Nick never learned all that they know by paying a shop to do things for them. just my $0.02
