We'd all like to build our own stuff in our own garage and be able to say "I did that".... but the reality is.... it takes WAY WAY WAY more time than we think it does. It usually requires some help too! Like "hold this" while you bolt something up.


Love ya buddy!! Glad you're moving forward.

What he said!!!!! Can't wait to see the car Mario, I might have to catch a flight to Columbus this year..just needed a reason and now I have one. Thanks

So it's stuck in paint jail is what your saying. Good thing your body guy is on a flat rate.

WTF! I watched TV last night and GasBagMonkey Garage was having a "show quality" paint job done and they had 24 hours to get it all done.

They quoted the "materials" as costing $3,000 -- so I figure the entire job - with 24 hours (at $100 per hour per person) of labor was worth $5,400. Put 2 guys on it and the cost is a whopping $7,800.... put three guys on it and we're up to $10,200


LOL



I still think about the guy at a car show that walked up to the Nomad and said "gaalllllleee (golly) - you must have 10 or 15 THOUSAND dollars in this!"... I said - "nah - I did most of it myself". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
