[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16586066, member: 70025"] I did some math this weekend.... Been working on the car 10 months (May 20 to Feb 21) x an average of 8 days a month = 80 days An average of 80 days a month x an average of working on the car 6 hours a day = 480 hours 480 hours x an average of paying someone else $75 an hour on labor = $36,000.00 So, by doing most of this myself (I've paid my fabricator to do things like my valve covers and I've paid my powder coater to have stuff powder coated) I have saved an average of [size=7][color=#ff0000]$36,000.00 [/color][/size]up to this point. Even if you subtracted all the tools and materials I had to buy to do this build (i.e. welder, 80 gal air compressor, pneumatic tools, sand paper, grinding wheels, body filler, welding wire, various body and welding tools, electrical connectors, shrink tubing, grommets, hardware, etc.) I still think I've saved around [b][U]$33,000.00[/U][/b]. My brother has a lot of tools he let me borrow, which has helped me greatly in the saving money department. Let me tell you, seeing that number is one hell of a motivator for me LOL. [/QUOTE]
