DUKW in the weeds

I found a free DUKW that has serious rust in bottom, but good, straight sides
and decent side rails. Top also badly rusted, especially at bow. Areas where
oil leaked on floor have preserved areas of the bottom. All running gear
present. Prop missing. Do you have any idea how to price sheet metal work?

I had one guy tell me he spent $5,000 on getting a new bottom made, but with
DUKWS being in the $15-25,000 range, the expense may be reasonable.

Any ideas?
