Subject:Welders in Denver?
From:joe trussell

Hi Folks,

I recently picked up a swivel seat base and am looking to have it welded in;
I stopped by a body shop today and they told me it would take four hours of
labor for cleaning and prepping the pedestal and laying welding blankets and
doing the actual welding, so somewhere around $140.

The guy said that the carpet could stay in, but he was worried about burning
the dash and headliner, and would really have to put some time into it.

(Forgive my ignorance of welding.  I have no idea as to whether this guy was
playing me for a fool or not, but it certainly felt suspicious.)

From reading in the archives, it sounds like most people didn't have any
problems getting these things welded in, and didn't say anything about
outrageous cost.

$130.  Ouch.  Does anybody know if this is a good figure?  And/or does
anybody in or around Denver know of somebody who could do this (much)
cheaper?

Thanks,
Joe T.
