I am interested in what others have spent on their rigs.
Here is what I spent from all my old receipts.
I did not have a garage loaded with tools nor did I have the time as I was working 60 hours a week in the Inv. Banking world. I oversaw the build with a local hot rod guy and verified every minute of the build. He was $60/hr which was a good deal in my area. This build was in 1996 as well. It was completed 3 months from when I dropped off the starter vehicle.
This started as a great running 302 in a 69 with Kentrol glass body. Art's auto bills also included 5 A/R ventura wheels and 5 BFG 32x11.5 BFG AT. proflow hood, glass grill, front disc kit and a new windshield glass welding cage painting & installing it.
I priced out building a complete new bronco from all new parts including new frame, crate 302, new AOD, new Atlas 2,new glass body all new parts. It came to $57,550 for all the parts and $26,000 in labor to have Art asseble and paint it.
Goal was for a pristine daily driver.
For the guys who do all their own work what is the going rate in your area and how many hours have you spent?
