I agree with Greg. Dave at Comp Fab did all of the initial fab work on Syborg for about 25 grand. I a matter of days (not weeks) he completed the entire back half and had the truck back on the ground. So paying Dave a few more bucks an hour was well worth it. Because he is much more efficient them most guys out there.

Here's what's even more important to me. I knew exactly what I wanted - and I'm building exactly that. The shop can order parts and just keep on truckin'
