My '33 Ford being built at Brizio's is going as so:
Deposit June 17th 2012
Car to be debuted January 2014 at Grand National Roadster Show
My '32 Ford which was a teardown of an existing car -- and basically a complete re-do sans interior - but part of the interior was redone... took about
10 months.... and another 2 years to sort out the problems that the crappy builder did. The car was "done" --- but not right --- LOL.
SO it depends on the builder AND the cash you toss in the burn pile.
It also depends on the complexity of the build.... simple takes less time -- complicated one off parts can take forever...
In other words -- there is NO WAY for anyone to answer your question because it all "depends".

right on the $$ Greg.....how quick can the money come in? How complex is the build? It it a mini-tubbed '69 Camaro with stock interior? Is there custom interior? Custom metal work? Rendering....?
We ask customers how much money they are comfortable spending in a billing cycle( every two weeks). Do they want to spend $30K in a month or in 6 months? Its the same money, just over longer period. if a guy says I can spend $1000 a month, It hardly pays for the spot the car is parked in. Also momentum is a big plug. When we have to stop and start due to lack of $$ (which rarely happens at our shop) It kills the momentum and costs more in the long run. Better parts come to market, styles change etc.
There is a beautiful Nova here in town in bare metal that was supposed to debut at the 2003 SMOTY competition. It has a ZL1 engine and directional 17" billet wheels with old school Baer brakes. It needs a complete make-over today
Anyways..stick to a plan, get the $$ together and pull the trigger. We average about 12-14 months right now- Chris
