[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16771338, member: 70025"] Okay Everyone, As mentioned before, I have not kept an official record of my hours, but I do keep an average of the hours I've worked. I do have a few more bugs to work out, but since the majority of the build is done I wanted to do one final tally of my guesstimated labor charges. As of the end of my build I believe I have 1,152 hours invested (could be more as I'm not counting holidays or days I took off from work to work on the car). This is my formula: - 24 months (May 2020 to Apr 2022) x 4 weekends per month = 96 weekends. - 96 weekends x 2 days per weekend = 192 days spent working on the car. - 192 days x 6 hours a day (average) = 1,152 hours. I have been averaging $75 an hour for labor. So, if you multiply $75 an hour by 1,152 hours that's $86,400 in labor. Now, I'm not going to say how much I have invested in my Kindig air filter system, but I will tell you that based on my invoices Kindig's labor rate is $110 per hour. So, utilizing that amount and "saying" it took them the same amount of hours to build my car this is what it would have cost me if Kindig built my car. $110 an hour for Kindig labor multiplied by 1,152 build hours would have cost me $126,720 in "labor" alone....... [B][COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Me = $86,400 in labor Kindig = $126,720 in labor[/COLOR][/B] LOL, now I'm not comparing my build level to Kindig's in any way shape or form. This is just a numbers game I'm playing. When I went on my tour of Kindig's shop the tour guide said the 65 Mustang build and the Ford F100 build where listed at $500,000 or more. That's parts, labor, fabrication and materials. So, I'm 100% sure there is no way in hell I could afford a Kindig build and $126,720 is not even close to what would be charged in labor for a Kindig build LMAO. I could barely afford a Kindig parts build LOL. [/QUOTE]
