So you figured out you will never get rich building cars, smart man

Hi Larry,

I recently checked some of the local shops here in IND and all were 50 - 55 per hour + T/M. Range I checked was full service shops with chassis jig, tube benders, full fab, paint booths, etc - to smaller shops that did just bolt-on, replacement stuff and minor fab/patch work.

Gosh, it's not the money. After watching American Hot Rod, I decided that I never want to dye my hair. :rofl: Edit: ...Or dress like a Motel 6 curtain.

Wel then I guess you will have to resort to selling parts, cuz building cars is a non money making career, until you get a TV show.

So let me tell you about the parts i'm working on bringing to market soon....

Realistic Build Equation = What you think it will cost x 2. Math 101. It works pretty much every time for me, LOL.

...and don't forget twice as long. "Twice as much and twice as long"

Sounds about right to me.

Well you also have to figure in additional time for makeing all those part's fit some other guy is getting rich SELLING :rofl: :rofl: . All kidding aside I think Stuart has it figured best, Just when you think everything is going according to plan it all blow's up in your face, whether your a professional or a do it yourselfer. have a great day:thumbsup: Larry

That is true also. Good one.

Took the words right out of my mouth!:willy:
