Blows my mind on what is spent on some of these cars

Great question Dan....
The reason I ream some Orygone azz (otherwise known as STEVE FRISBEE) every chance I get is because not only did I not get a decent project outcome (as far as running and driving)... AND the idiot tried to charge me for fixing stuff I'd already paid to have done right the first time! Now --- MINE was a brand new build -- and it went back to the shop within days of picking it up -- on at least 3 or 4 separate occasions!
If you actually plan to DRIVE your car... beware the "show car builder" you see around at indoor car shows but you've never once seen someone actually driving their stuff!
On the extreme opposite side of the above mentioned bozo --- was Jeff Kugel of Kugel Komponents who not only sent me two complete sets of "stub axles" -- he then paid to have the complete rear end disassembled and had CUSTOM one off stub axles built -- NO CHARGE.... zero zip nada!
WE are friends now! He's a great guy... and never once made excuses. He just worked towards a solution.
I would "like to think" that most shops want a happy customer - and frankly - when you get all done -- you should be good friends not just "a customer"...
There's going to be "issues" when you're doing custom builds... and I would think most shops are going to help you resolve them.
