And for what it's worth if the 3,800 labor hour figure is correct then the $320,000 figure is close to hard cost not what a customer would pay to have the same thing done. If you were a regular customer there is no way you are going to get that much labor from a fab shop for that cheap. Hell, a conservative labor rate of $100 per labor hour (salary cost, insurance cost, overhead cost, and profit) puts the labor cost alone at $380K. Now add the base vehicle and parts of top of that and you can only imagine where the cost would end up.

thank you for your post ...doesn,t get more clear then this
