How many hours did it take you to build your truck?
I was asked the question so I sat down and put a pencil to it:
Total build time for 'Rose' was two years (lets say 90 weeks) for a full frame off. I worked alone most of the time but recruited help when I needed it and I farmed out the body and paint work so that is not in this equation. Keep in mind that this is a conservative estimate. 2 hours a day, 4 days a week (I have a full time job so this was after work) 8 hours on the weekend (split between Sat. and Sun.) 2x4=8 8+8=16 hours per week 16x90 weeks=1440 hours If I had paid a pro shop say $60 per hour it could have cost $86,400 but I am assuming they would have been faster than myself so maybe $60k. This is a labor only estimate, NO PARTS $. So, if you ever wondered how someone could spend $80 grand on one of these trucks now you know. Lets see what the rest of you folks think you have in labor hours.
