it'd take me that amount of time and then some to finish mine but I'm only one guy and I'm not a pro shop.

The hard part about cutting the cost in a shop's bid is to avoid getting bodywork that consists of bondo held in place by burlap and newspaper. My truck had been 'hacked' together by a shop in Houston Texas. The PO sold it to me because it would not run, could not stop and the bondo was falling off just 6 months after it was finished. I paid 25 cents on the dollar and the PO was glad to get that. It took almost four years to fix all of the stuff those clowns hacked up but it all got fixed.
