I'm working towards what Socal speed shop has. They have a work time table on what work will be done and when. It says how much you pay everyweek and when the project will be done. I cannot believe how detailed it is and planned to the T. But with the money they get for their cars I guess the financial cushion is in there to put 10 guys on some unforseen aspect of a build to keep it on time.

You can tell the shops that have a larger amount of book keepers, because of the paper work organization that has top go into the billing and parts ordering. So cal gets 125 per hour and I'm sure there is 1 hour of bookkeeping for every hour of work. And the customer pays for that in the end I'm sure.

Jim ( garage dog ) do you have the spread sheet you posted in another format, I do not have excel.

Marty, ( Syborg )man you keep track of everything, is it on the list how many times you farted on you trip to tracey's? I did not see it, but I'm sure it is in there.

Here's the Boyd's list for the chassis part of the build. This is from his set of Hot Rods by Boyd books - and each book in their Planning chapter is the project list. Tim Reumus is the writter.

Rodger, I'll post the PDF next.
