heres the breakdown..

[Build-It-Break-it]

I would imagine about 6 digits $$ parts and labor for builds of that level. The crazier you get the more you pay obviously. Most places charge $85hr shop rate. Just an example: Mini tubs will cost you $350 for parts but 40hrs of shop labor ($3400) to put them in. Last I heard that's the amount of hours they charge for that particular job. Do the math, it'll add up fast.

LOL .. thats too funny !!
Your looking at $100K just in parts ... but the killer is $85/hr for labour whether it be for body & paint, and the rest if your not so mechanically inclined. Some of the builds you have mentioned have 1000+ hours into them, the math is simple and it adds up FAST ...

I know of a couple of excellent shops in the Phoenix area at $50/hr.

To get that caliber of build you will easly be over $150.000.00! Ask me how I know.

$150k to $300k

Any recommendations on a fabricator?

Why on earth would you like that one?
