Larry I can tell you from a shop stand point it is way more than most pepole think it cost to build these car's that we all love so much. Just from fixed cost at our shop taxes are almost $30,000.00 a year
and that dose not include the patment to the bank every month. From a build cost stand point we charge $75.00 per hr and we bill t/m. We have a 69 Chevelle that will be going out the end of this week. We did a under car resto took the body off the frame sandblast prime and paint everything back to new all new parts to long story short the customer wanted to be around the $7500.00 mark just added up and to date he's at $21,000.00. Now he know where he is at with this build so there is no suprises for him and he pay as he goes. i quoted a job a couple of weeks ago the whole build minus eng and trans (he wants to do something) but mini tub quadra link wheels tire's paint stock guts but all new. He wants a show car I gave a qoute for $100,000.00. Now that does include the car also which we have. You know owning your own shop how the cost can get out of hand really quick. I'll add more later got to go give the kids a shower
