My shop rate is $75 dollars an hour, 1000-2000 hours into a ground up build is nothing. So do the math on just the labor cost. Now add parts and 15k interior to that and the bill gets up there. Can it be done for less.......yes, It just depends on what you want in the finished product. There is no magic way to do it, you get what you pay for.

I saw the '67 on ebay a few weeks back. Did it sell?
