one guy whos sole job is to work on that car and my other guy is on it whenever we don't have anything for him to do on the other lift.

I under stand its rare to find a customer who will pay for non stop work wich is why i dedicate one lift to that and another to off on jobs.

I have two employes.

i assign one guy to work non stop on large jobs on one side of the shop and the other helps him and when a short term quick job comes in he drops off to do that job.

i work out back one everything long and short depending on whats needed at the time plus at the counter/showroom

The only work not done here at my shop was the actual soda blasting and powder coating we removed the chassis suspension stuff and disasemled it droped it off to be blasted then took it to be coated.

the engine was removed and we ordered the parts had a block machined then assembled the entire engine here at my shop
the trany was a complete built unit from my trans supplier

Everything else was done here in house.. We dont build our own controll arms or anything like that its a built from buyable parts car.

but thats what 99 percent of the cars you build are

then there is the 1 percent that you have to just custom build everything .. and those should realize at the out set thats a LOOOONG term project.
