I don't think the average gear head has any idea the time (and serious talent) it takes to produce whats in these pictures.

I think the "average" gearhead does know, somewhat. Rather it be someone who has built cars to a more or lesser extent or someone who just looks at TV shows and has been to local/national car shows. Now the non-average gearhead doesn't. Let me tell a little story that's not related to interior, but in relationship to how a non-average gearhead thinks.
(short story) I was at a gas station about 3 years ago in my Chevelle and a guy rides up and offers me $6k for it. Mind you, I had Baer brakes all the way around, done a frame-off resto, a taken-to-bare metal paint job, custom stereo and interior (not Recovery Room quality though), Ididit column, Hotchkis suspension, etc. I then laughed at him and I think it kind of pissed him off though because I think he took it as I thought I was better than him. But, to me, $6k was an insult. That, to me in a nutshell, is an example of a non-average gearhead. Now, many of us, would have known way better than to offer a guy so little for a car that looks like that. Now, I'm not proposing that my car is worth $50k either, but come on fellers. You feel me right?
