Re: $188,000 Pickup

Looking at the invoice. The 65,000 for parts seems fairly accurate when you start adding things up. New chassis, 502 crate engine, rearend, body panels, tires, wheels, etc... The 160,000 of labor makes me raise an eyebrow. I know multiple people are going to have their hands on the build, mechanics electricians, body, paint, etc... I wonder what his hourly rate is?

Anyhow, I will watch the show, if nothing else is on. Dan, the owner, annoys me. He talks to people like they're dumb and don't know what they want. Furthermore, they over complicate the simplest task. Now, his guys seem very talented. Especially the wood shop guys.

I see the show is going off the air. I can't say it'll be a big loss. I'm sure the re-runs will be on until the end of time.
