Are you buying the primers, paint, ect.? Are you going to do the massive amount of hours to help block sand? I'm no expert but that sounds cheap to me.
I had a guy with an 88 Toyota truck to quote patches on the rusted body. I quoted him $1000 for the sheet metal repairs only. Needless to say he turned me down.

Just in the primers, sanding blocks, various grit papers, grease wax remover, tack cloths, masking tape and paper and a bunch of other pre-painting items, I'm well over $500 and countless hours of work.

What if he gets tired of working on it in his "FREE TIME" then the car could potentialy be there longer.
