Need my radiator support fixed, because my mechanic and 2 body shops have all told me seperately that a new hood won't close with it as is... one shop quoted me at 734 to fix rad support, install and paint hood (of that, the rad support is about $200.. 3 hrs labor and 1.2 hrs paint @ $45/hr according to the estimate sheet)... another just quoted me $292.50 plus tax to do just the radiator support if I strip the front end myself, plus 100 dollars if i strip all but the fenders. Even though I know thats a pretty good price, I still want to see if I can anything better since I am on a college budget

. Anyone got any advice/whatever?
Thanks a lot.
