General build cost

[HoosierDaddy]

Pretty much in agreement ...
25k in parts easy ....
50 .... 60 .... 75 K finished .....all realistic amounts. ! year build time sounds possibly a bit short.

I wonder how long it would take one of us to build said rig if one money was plentiful and you didn't have to go to work ? You know , just putterin' in the shop all day .
Can you say "LOTTERY" !

a quick decent resto takes a good 400 hours (I'm sure some can go faster, but we're talking top-notch work). You can double, triple that and more on details and how far you take it - hiding wires, trick touches, soundproofing, custom interior...

Made me start totalling up a few things... The list does not stop here...
I just started buying paint materials... It will be around 1000.00+ just for the materials. Now add the other items you spoke of...

STOP IT ALREADY!!!!!!!!! making me sick!

 

[DonsBolt]

I can only imagine if I had to pay someone to do everyhing I have done
As i am typing this I keep remembering things I have bought and done, holly crap

In my case
My 77 cost between 9 to10 grand, it was a good rust free truck, that needed trans and engine work at some point, but both lasted me 2 years

First thing I did when I got it home was replace the brakes, tie rods, drag link, ball joints, tires to make it safe. There was a good 1500 bucks right there. I prob could have just done the tires, but wanted to be extra safe, as the brakes turned out to be in pretty good condition.

New coil springs and leaf springs $600-700
23 gallon main tank/skid plate $500
Toms Alluminum radiator $500
Toms saganaw pump $200
Steering wheel few hundred
headers $500
exhaust $3-400

Then I searched and found a Ford Racing 5 liter, with under 3000 miles, $1800
Then add to that a new flywheel, harmonic dampner, new MSD distributor, 6AL ignition, and a 670 truck avenger, so another 1000 bucks.

The following year NV3550, adaptors, new clutch, another 2 grand
Twin Stick $200
Shock hoops few hundred

Front winch bumper, and winch $1000-1500

Redid the dash with new guages $500-600
Recovered the front seats, with new foam, $500
Stereo system $300-500


Then little things here and there, weather stripping, door felts, H4 headlights, with relay harness, Carpeting, fender flares, hood and liftgate shocks and bunch of other little things say another $1000-1500 These little things sure do add up

So even doing all the work myself, I have well over $13,000 invested in parts, and if I had to pay full price on a new motor it could have been another $2-3000

This winter I am going to add fuel injection, and a new roll cage, so figure a good $1-2000

Someday mine will need paint which I am sure will cost a good $2000 maybee even more. I don't want to thing about that.

I did all the work myself, so right now I have well over $20,000 into my truck. If I had to pay for all the work I did, I bet you could add $5000 to what I have into it. So I can see a easy 30 grand to pay someone to build you a bronco, and that doesn't include paint or body work.
